Alternatives to @XmlSeeAlso

[Avner Levy <av...@live.com>]

Hi,
I have a server exposing multiple web services.
The objects of the services are scattered in several packages and include
cross packages inheritance.
>From my understanding if you have inheritance and a service can return a
number of possible sub classes you need to use the @XmlSeeAlso on the base
class which adds unnecessary dependencies and complexity.
For both performance and dynamic configuration reasons I want to create
myself the JAXB context which will be used by the CXF client / server
services.
This way I can avoid the unnecessary dependencies and manage the context
myself. I prefer specifying it once on the bus level, but if that isn't
possible I guess controlling it on the service level will be good enough.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Avner

CXF JAXBBinding offers an extraClasses property, so that can be used to 
avoid adding @XmlSeeAlso,
