So, the XML produced from an instance of such a Bean will vary depending on the JAXB implementation being used - right? So, if the Bean mapped to an XML schema type by one implementation of JAXB is not portable to another implementation, how are you going to make that Bean portable across J2SE impelementations for the purpose of invoking a web service via JAX-RPC?
