Finally, got it to work. For anyone who may struggle with DTD to java
generation using jaxb in the future:
1- convert it to xmlshema first (if you want to customize the binding it
will be much better to use xmlschema).
2- generate the code and edit it afterward.
I used the same steps as Wolfgang Laun has suggested (thanks alot for your
help) and added the following function in ObjectFactory.java:
// the following is generated
@XmlElementDecl(namespace = "", name = "field")
public JAXBElement<Field> createField(Field value) {
return new JAXBElement<Field>(_Field_QNAME, Field.class, null,
value);
}
// This one I've added
@XmlElementDecl(namespace = "", name = "")
public JAXBElement<String> createField3(String value) {
return new JAXBElement<String>(new
QName(null,""),String.class,value);
}
so now I can generate mixed XML. Text and elements just like HL7. The
following page is also very informative:

Thanks
