You can't use XmlAnyElement with HashMap<String, Object>, it needs to
use collection (or single field) of orf.w3c.dom.Element or JAXBElement,
see javadoc [1]. And I can't see a way how to achieve desired output (it
definitely could be a way to go BUT I don't recommend using
XmlAnyElement at all).

You can easily have something like
<client>
<id>1</id>
<name>clientName</name>
<customsFields>
<entry key="key1">someValue1</item>
<entry key="key2">someValue2</item>
<entry key="key3">someValue3</item>
</customsFields>
</client>
I will investigate more (actually I;m discussing this with JAXB lead
right now) but I don't think how you could do something like you want
without XmlAnyElement (which could produce "nice" xml, but runtime
processing would need to be more complex).
