Question

I have the following java class with the JAXB @XMLRootElement annotation

@XmlRootElement(name='ClientData') public class ClientData {  /**  * The first address field of the person  */ private String address1 = null; } 

which produces this xml fragment when i generate the xsd schema

<xs:complexType name='clientData'>   <xs:sequence>    <xs:element minOccurs='0' name='address1' type='xs:string'/> 

Is it possible to use a JAXB annotation so that the documentation details on the address1 field will be included as a xs:annotation/xs:documentention element in my final schema?

<xs:complexType name='clientData'>   <xs:sequence>    <xs:element minOccurs='0' name='address1' type='xs:string'>     <xs:annotation>       <xs:documentation>The first address field of the person</xs:documentation>     </xs:annotation>    </xs:element>

Simple answer: no it’s not possible with builtin JAXB.
