I like to keep my code as OO as possible. Therefore, I often add behaviors to my jaxb generated classes by extending the generated classes and creating a custom jaxb ObjectFactory that is passed into the JAXBContext to be used during unmarshalling. This will give me back my custom class instead of the generated class. This way I can add behaviors directly on the object itself instead of writing procedural code to operate on the object. Here is the JAXB documentation on the subject: https://jaxb.dev.java.net/guide/Adding_behaviors.html
Is there a way to support this in a cxf-su? If I try to use my custom class, I get an error because of a type mismatch. Therefore, I would need a way to tell cxf to use my custom ObjectFactory, but I haven't found a way to it.
