I don't see MappedSuperclass in the jaxb API docs.... are you referring to
the JPA annotation of that name?
I am actually using that in some places as my resources are mostly JPA
entities but not quite sure how helps here. I'm looking to avoid messing
with my class hierarchy (or adding new classes) solely for the purpose of
having different XML/JSON representations of them though going that route
would certainly work.
I'm guessing the answer probably lies in having multiple custom JAXB binding
definitions but I'm wondering if there is a best practice around this.
And my second question is basically related to how I would implement the
multiple custom bindings if do in fact have to go that route.
