Will this extension also support "node presence" check? For example, for given type:

<xs:complexType>
	<xs:sequence>
		<xs:element name="ApplicationNumber" type="xs:string" />
		<xs:element name="CountryCode" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
	</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

I would like to model two Java class:

@XmlRootElement(name="Application")
class BasicApplication {
	@XmlElement(name = "ApplicationNumber", required = true)
	String applicationNumber;
}

and

@XmlRootElement(name="Application")
@XmlDiscriminatorNode("CountryCode")
class Application extends BasicApplication  {
	@XmlElement(name = "CountryCode")
	String countryCode;
}

and create "Application" instance if "<CountryCode>...</CountryCode>" is present.

Any chance of having the @XmlDiscriminatorNode value be an arbitrary xpath?

I have a legacy XML that I would like to map:

<MESSAGE>
  <HEADER>
    <TYPE></TYPE>
  </HEADER>
  <DATA>
    ...
  </DATA>
</MESSAGE>

Basically there are no types in the XML but the contents of the MESSAGE/DATA element are dependent on the value of MESSAGE/HEADER/TYPE. The DATA element is itself typed but there are no type indicators on it as immediate children (attributes or elements).

I'd like to either:
- type the whole Message based on the MESSAGE/HEADER/TYPE - concrete values in this element correspond to whole message types, one would have to be able to specify xpath expressions operating deeper than one level down, or
- type the DATA element based on existence of child elements with certain local names - I guess this could be done using an xpath expression like boolean(/CHILD).
