JAXB Marshalling and Generics

Question

I am trying to use JAXB\'s introspection to marshall and unmashall some existing domain objects marked up with JAXB annotations. Most things work as expected, but I am havin

Answer 1

Actually, it is not quite clear to me why this would not work. It seems like JAXB should be able to resolve specific subtype correctly: if (and only if!) this type is NOT the root type (which it is not as per your description). I mean, it is just a Bean; so if bean with T replaced with direct type works, so should generic version iff using sub-classing to bind types (as is done in example).

So perhaps it could be a bug in implementation?
