There appears to be an error when using @XmlPath with @XmlEnum.  For the following example:

@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Customer {

  @XmlPath("nested/type/text()")
  private CustomerType type = CustomerType.NEW_CUSTOMER;

  @XmlEnum(String.class)
  private enum CustomerType { PROMO_CUSTOMER, NEW_CUSTOMER, VIP, NORMAL }

}

When the following XML document is unmarshalled the type property is not set:

<customer>
  <nested>
    <type>NEW_CUSTOMER</type>
  </nested>
</customer>

Everything works properly when @XmlElement is used instead of @XmlPath
