I was actually expecting that a method-level annotation would be passed, it might provide some extra info for the provider to do its
job
Ex.
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(IntegerUserMapAdapter.class)
Map<Integer, User> getUsers();
JAXBProvider may be able to do something if a method-level @XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation is available.
I'm wondering then, would it make sense to keep the annotations params in place ?
Perhaps, passing method-level annotations instead would be ok, given that the class-level ones can be extracted from the actual
class ?
