If i have following setup:
- Bundle A containing XJC generated classes and a facade for the marshalling code
- Bundle B has the un-/marshaller code
- An UI thread calls the facade from Bundle A with an classloader which can load classes from every OSGi bundle

The JAXBContext is created using the above mentioned classloader:
JAXBContextFactory.createContext(contextPath, classLoader);

While creating the context, the ObjectFactory.java from the generated classes in Bundle A is loaded and check if it is a JAXB ObjectFactory. The check fails because the check, if the class is annotated as object factory, is done with the wrong classloader (see line 153 and 379 ind JAXBContextFactory.java [trunk version]). Furthermore the check is done without a classloader.

So the situation is somehting like this: the supplied object factory class in method isJAXB2ObjectFactory is loaded by my own classloader (and hence the annotations in it) while the annotation which is used to the check it is loaded with the UI threads classloader. Thus the method returns false and the ObjectFactory check is worthless.

Reproducible: Always
