There are several ways to do it.   On trunk (jax-ws 2.1), it's much 
easier as you can add an @XmlSeeAlso annotation to your service to have 
it SeeAlso any class in the other package.   The JAXB databinding will 
automatically grab the ObjectFactory from any package for any class 
referenced with the SeeAlso.

For 2.0.x, it's a bit trickier.   There is a 
jaxb.additionalContextClasses key that can be set in the properties that 
points to an array of classes or something like that that can be used to 
provide additional stuff for jaxb.   See the file:

systests/src/test/resources/extrajaxbclass.xml

for an example.
