Using @XmlPath with jaxb/MOXy to map complex type?

When I ran your example everything worked fine. Since your real model probably has get/set methods you will need to ensure that you add XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType. FIELD) to your class otherwise MOXy (or any other JAXB impl) will also treat the corresponding properties as being mapped (see: http://blog.bdoughan.com/2011/06/using-jaxbs-xmlaccessortype-to.html ).

So it seems as if the namespace needs to be specified in the @XmlPath when mapping the path to a complex object, but can be skipped when mapping the path to a simple object such as a String or an integer.

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.
