Answer 1

AFAIK the JAXB work on xml schema for unmarshalling XML into Java object. So if schema defines element as simple element, it can only contain text. If you need to store XML as simple text. You might need to escape it using CDATA construct. Try enclosing the same as shown below, after unmarshling you will get the XML as it is.

  
    prop1
    val1
  
  
    prop2
    valB]]>
