Right, but in the case of an XML Protocol which envelops other XML data,
it might not be desirable to inherit name spaces and other context into
designated elements. This is also true in my case, where the xml wild card
content inside the XMLData element should be independent.
For a more detailed explanation of the problem please refer to

Btw. how is this solved for SOAP? I'm not too much into SOAP, but my problem
seems similar to SOAP envelopes and I think jaxrpc also uses jaxb.

Thanks a lot for the fast reply and I think this might be possible,
but the problem to extract a node without it's context remains.
However Document.adoptNode() might do the trick.

Not sure if this would help, as the name space and context problem would remain.
What really would help is a raw (or plain text) binding like:
<xs:element name="XMLData" type="AnyXMLType"/>
<xs:complexType name="AnyXMLType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:any processContents="lax" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<xjc:raw/>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:any>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
That allows to access the plain data between the XMLData Tags.
Also a method like
"marshaller.marshalExclusive(XMLDataElement,System.out);"
or
"marshaller.marshalExclusive(XMLDataElement.getAny(),System.out);"
that marshalls a subset of an xml document as if it where
independent of the rest of the document would enhance flexibility.

P.S.: Is it possible to do the dom binding from a customization
file as well, and how is the Syntax?
