Hi.
I am migrating my app from JAXB 1.0 to JAXB 2.0. My schema uses

I would appreciate some help in understanding why the generated methods

In your case, the field "Identifiable" may contain any element that
substitutes Identifiable. They will all be of the IdentifiableType (or its
subclasses), BUT they will have different names. Therefore, to track names
of elements, JAXB need to use JAXBElements.
Bye.
