Re: problem with xml element for response with common service for SOAP and XML

[Daniel Kulp <dk...@apache.org>]

This is getting into some complex JAXB things.  Probably best for the 
JAXB lists.

That said, looking at it, I THINK you want to replace:
@XmlAnyElement
with:
@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElementRef(name = "Data") 

The XmlAnyElement thing is put where you want the schema to have 
a "xsd:any" which I don't think is what you want there.

I think you want it to point to the Data element as the base type for the 
element.
