How to (de-)serialize an object with JAXB/SCALA when an @XmlJavaTypeAdapter is needed?

I am uncertain how to solve your first problem. Might be a problem with annotating a case class? Could try using a non-case class.

But again very unsure about that. Might be related to this SO question?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
