Hi Kostis,
You're asking two questions here. The first one relates to what code
xjc generates for you, and the second relates to how jaxb2 handles
classes that don't have @XmlRootElement annotations.
The answer to the first is that xjc will generate classes with
@XmlRootElement for any global elements defined in your schema.
The answer to the second is (I think) that if you try to marshall an
object of class Foo where Foo doesn't have a @XmlRootElement
annotation jaxb2 won't marshall the class.
does that help?
cheers
