Given the following object model:

    package forum6928521;

    import java.util.Random;

    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAttribute;
    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlID;

    public class Small {
        private String xmlId;

        @XmlID
        @XmlAttribute
        public String getXmlId() {
            if (xmlId == null)
                xmlId = "small" + new Random().nextInt();
            return xmlId;
        }

        public void setXmlId(String id) {
            this.xmlId = id;
        }
    }

and

    package forum6928521;

    public class Big extends Small {
        // Code
    }

The following exception is incorrectly being thrown since the Big class should inherit the @XmlID from the parent class:

Exception Description: Invalid XmlIDREF on property [big].  Class [forum6928521.Big] is required to have a property annotated with XmlID.]
