Dealing With a Schema for Which There is No xmlrootelement

[jsexton0]

I understand why the xmlrootelement annotation is not always generated. Just
the same, I have to work with a schema for which JAXB does not (rightly)
create the @XmlRootElement. What I need to do is make a string out of the
data, then get the JAXB object back out latter.

To create the String, I added a "wrapper" like this:

marshaller.marshal(new JAXBElement(
new QName("http://mydomain/schema/MyNamesape", "MyMessage"),
MyMessageType.class, request), sw);

However, the code Netbeans creates to convert this String back to an XML
object gives me a java.lang.ClassCastException on the resulting Object.
I've confirmed that the data (String) is intact, and is what I expect.

Is there a general approach to making a JAXB object with no @XmlRootElement
pass through conversion to a String and back again?

Thanks
Thanks

Sorry for answering my own post, but maybe this will help someone else. I
don't know why I so frequently figure out something just after posting some
place like this...

If I unmarshal to a JAXBElement instead of the type I'm looking for, then
the JAXBElement's getValue() result can be cast to the complex type I
started with and everyone is happy. This makes perfect sense now that I see
it.

Thanks again
