The name attributes of the complexType elements in these xsd files end with
"Type", and that's, by definition of the JAXB 2.0 specification, the name
for the JAXB generated class.

There is no problem with generating an XML file from an AuthnRequestType
object wrapped into a JAXBElement<AuthnRequestType>. All required methods
are in the ObjectFactory. See
http://jaxb.java.net/tutorial/section_4_1-Building-and-Marshalling-an-XML-Document.html#The%20Object%20Factoryfor
details.
