> {{org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBContextInitializer}} ignores {{@XmlTransient}} and {{@XmlJavaTypeAdapter}} at some locations. This can lead to fatal exceptions because it tries to analyze (add) classes that are not intended to be xml-marshalled.
> {{@XmlTransient}} is ignored if placed on a setter (when using {{@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.PUBLIC_MEMBER))}}. Jaxb (tested with jdk 1.6.0_18) honors this no matter if placed on getter or setter of the property.
> The problem could be in {{org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBContextInitializer.isMethodAccepted(Method, XmlAccessType)}} where a getter is accepted even if its setter has {{@XmlTransient}}. As a workaround the annotation has to be placed on the getter.
> {{@XmlJavaTypeAdapter}} is ignored if placed on class level (that again is OK for Jaxb). 
> The problem could be in {{org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBContextInitializer.addClass(Class<?>)}} where the @XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation is checked only if the class is an interface, but not otherwise (especially the superclass is added w.o. checking if there is a typeadapter to use). 
> As a workaround the annotation can be placed on the using field/property of the type. But obviously this leads to duplication if the class with adapter is used more than once.
