Dear Mirko,
Thank you very much for your prompt response.
I have indeed tried out what you suggest. I also just tried now again to double check that I did not miss anything.
Unfortunately, the generated code is not good:
@XmlElementRef(name = "positions", type = JAXBElement.class, required = false)
protected List<Position> positions;
The problem is that I get a ClassCastException because at runtime the position list is of type JAXBElement and not of type position.
Does the @XmlElementRef annotation look correct? Or do you think that I should expect a @XmlIDREF instead?
Thanks,
Pablo.
