You can use a bindingsfile like the following to avoid getting jaxbelements: <jaxb:bindings version="2.1" xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"; xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"; xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <jaxb:globalBindings generateElementProperty="false"> </...
