This would need to create some kind of fake classloader, which would
provide annotations from external location, like a file..
.. unfortunately, I don't know about any project which can do this, JAXB
nor Jersey don't support anything like it by itself. You should probably
re-generate your JAXB beans (it should be simple if you have XSD schema)
or implement custom classloader (but it might not be easy task).
