that's my current solution too, but I guess there should a "nicer" way to
tell JAXB to serialize the collection of JAXB annotated classes, without
writing an "extra" class for that.
If anybody has an idea let me know. I tried to search in the JAXB docs,
probably we need to add another JAXB provider for doing that. I'm not a
JAXB expert, so maybe somebody can clarify on this issues.
Thanks,
