We've been using JAXB 1.0 and are pretty happy with it. I have one question about how imported schemas are generated, because we would like to share some common elements across many schemas.
Since each schema that includes these common elements creates JAXB objects for them in a different package, I can't have common code to pack/unpack the common elements.
The only solution I can think of is to put the same interface on the various versions of the same object in the different packages, but JAXB 1.0 seems to preclude adding specific interfaces to specific generated objects.
Just so I understand what my tradeoffs are, I was wondering what the "good reason" (see below) is that these common schema definitions are duplicated?
