It's done the same way as what you are going for the Map below. You need to
write a @XmlJavaTypeAdapter thing to map the Credential to/from a concrete
class.
Most likely, in your case, the adapter would map Credential <-->
BaseCredential and you would then use XmlSeeAlso annotations to register the
concrete subtypes (PasswordCredential plus others).
