JAXB doesn't (un)marshall property with @XmlElementRef ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBWS-4097 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-4097 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Components: jbossws-cxf Reporter: Viral Gohel Assignee: Radovan Netuka Fix For: jbossws-cxf-5.2.1.Final Attachments: Reproducer.zip The link, https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19355-01/820-1072/ahiid/index.html it suggests that JAXBElement is required also if there are element nillable="true" and minOccurs="0" or if there are two global elements with the same named xsd:complexType. We always need a client to be regenerated using a jaxbBindings.xml with the option <jaxb:globalBindings generateElementProperty="false" />, the web service client is working. Some of the implementation except CXF, work without having the file, jaxbBindings.xml file. Is that an issue with jbossws-cxf ?
