Honestly, I don't think there is a way to currently do this with Aegis. Aegis currently doesn't have any concept of an XmlSeeAlso annotation or similar to be able to set additional classes to add into the Aegis context. You MAY be able to programatically create an AegisContext object and configure in some "root" types to add additional class, but I'm not really sure how that would all work.
