Does JAXB support xsd:restriction?

Answer 1

The JAXB (JSR-222) specification does not cover generating fail fast logic into the domain model. A common practice now is to express validation rules in the form of annotations (or XML) and run validation on them. Bean Validation (JSR-303) standardizes this and is available in any Java EE 6 implementation.

XJC Extensions

I have not tried the following extension myself but it appears as though it will generate Bean Validation (JSR-303) annotations onto the domain model representation validation rules from the XML schema. As XJC is very extensible there may be other plug-ins available as well.
