This attribute applies only to TopLink Workbench. Use this option to solve "No XPath specified" problems (see "Using the Problems Window") for an XML mapping that does not need an XPath (see "Configuring XPath") for it maps to a wildcard.

If the XML mapping is owned by an `anyType` descriptor (see "Configuring for Complex Type of anyType"), it cannot map to a wildcard, and you must specify an XPath.
