Assume the following bindings file

<xml-bindings xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/xsds/persistence/oxm">
    <xml-schema-types>
        <xml-schema-type name="int" type="java.math.BigDecimal" />
    </xml-schema-types>
    <xml-java-type-adapters>
        <xml-java-type-adapter value="testing.MyCalendarAdapter" type="testing.MyCalendar"/>
    </xml-java-type-adapters>
</xml-bindings>

If Employee has an Address and both Employee and Address should make use of the xml-schema-type and xml-java-type-adapter specified if we create the context like below then everything works fine

Class[] classes = new Class[]{Employee.class, Address.class};
JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContextFactory.createContext(classes, getProperties());

If the context is created without Address set then the xml-schema-type and xml-java-type-adapter are not used with it.  ie:
Class[] classes = new Class[]{Employee.class};
JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContextFactory.createContext(classes, getProperties());
