The ONLY way I can see to do this is to create a wrapper bean for the
findProducts method and add an @XmlElementWrapper annotation to the field.
It's a shame that that annotation isn't allowed on a parameter so we could map
it in when we build the wrapper types internally. Just checked JAXB 2.2 and
it's not allowed on the param there either. :-(
Probably the easiest way to get going is to run:
java2ws -wrapperbean ......
to produce the wrapper beans and copy the request bean into your project and
modify it. You'll need to add the @RequestWrapper annotation to your method
to pick it up.
