XJC does not allow you to customize several nodes at once. So it's not
the XPath problem, it's XJC problem. XJC simply disallows this.
Options:
* File an RFE for JAXB RI, so that this feature is added to XJC.
* Write a JAXB plugin which allows adding customization elements to
several items at once.
The first one is the "official" way. With the second one you can
achieve much more flexibility. I find it quite cumbersome defining
customizations in schema or binding files. I always wanted something
like extra XML files which are just named accordingly.
I'm reposting to the users_at_jaxb.java.net ML.
Bye,
