I’m trying to generate an XML schema using JAXBContext.generateSchema(..).

My class looks something like this:

@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType( XmlAccessType.FIELD )
class Person {
  @XmlAttribute
  public String name;

  @XmlAnyAttribute
  public Map<QName, String> otherAttributes = new HashMap<QName, String>();
}

And when I generate the schema using the RI, it works fine.

<xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:anyAttribute processContents="skip" namespace="##other" />

But when using the generator from MOXy, it switches the order:

<xsd:anyAttribute processContents="skip" namespace="##other" />
<xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:string" />

(this is not allowed in XML schema)

Is there a fix for this? I’m using MOXy 2.4.1.
