I was able to get this working using trunk. Here¹s a simple example for those interested.

'jaxbElementClassNames' list property I referred to earlier can only be used with classes which do have @XmlRootElement annotations, it is really only useful if the serialization of the derived types needs to be affected. I've added a similar jaxbElementClassMap property which contains className to element name pairs, with element names being either simple names or expanded qnames. If an object class has no @XmlRootElement but its name is a key in this map then JAXBElement will be created internally and serialized properly. I think it can be quite useful in a number of cases. Scott - if you need this feature right now then let me know please and I can help you to create a custom JAXBElementProvider which will do it for you, till the fix makes it into the next 2.2.x release. thanks, Sergey
