Hi Jerome,

You can do something like this (example taken from spec):

   XML Schema fragment:

   <xs:complexType name="Base">
     <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
       <xs:annotation>
         <xs:appinfo>
           <jaxb:property name="items" />
         </xs:appinfo>
       </xs:annotation>
       <xs:element name="A" type="xs:string"/>
       <xs:element name="B" type="xs:string"/>
       <xs:element name="C" type="xs:int"/>
     </xs:choice>
   </xs:complexType>

   Customized derived code:

   interface Base {
     interface A extends javax.xml.bind.Element {...}
     interface B extends javax.xml.bind.Element {...}
     interface C extends javax.xml.bind.Element {...}

     /**
     * A general content list that can contain
     * instances of Base.A, Base.B and Base.C.
     */

     // List getAOrBOrC(); - default

     List getItems();// Customized Code
   }

You could try changing the property name to "content," but this may
cause a name collision (not trusting my memory here).

Regards,
