Annotate a JavaBean multi-valued property to support mixed content.

The usage is subject to the following constraints:

  
 can be used with @XmlElementRef, @XmlElementRefs or @XmlAnyElement


The following can be inserted into @XmlMixed annotated multi-valued property

XML text information items are added as values of java.lang.String.
Children element information items are added as instances of JAXBElement or instances with a class that is annotated with @XmlRootElement.
Unknown content that is not be bound to a Jakarta XML Binding mapped class is inserted as Element. (Assumes property annotated with @XmlAnyElement)

Below is an example of binding and creation of mixed content.

 <!-- schema fragment having  mixed content -->
 <xs:complexType name="letterBody" mixed="true">
   <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="quantity" type="xs:positiveInteger"/>
<xs:element name="productName" type="xs:string"/>
<!-- etc. -->
   </xs:sequence>
 </xs:complexType>
 <xs:element name="letterBody" type="letterBody"/>
// Schema-derived Java code: 
// (Only annotations relevant to mixed content are shown below, 
//  others are omitted.)
import java.math.BigInteger;
public class ObjectFactory {
	// element instance factories
	JAXBElement<LetterBody> createLetterBody(LetterBody value);
	JAXBElement<String>     createLetterBodyName(String value);
	JAXBElement<BigInteger> createLetterBodyQuantity(BigInteger value);
	JAXBElement<String>     createLetterBodyProductName(String value);
     // type instance factory
	LetterBody createLetterBody();
 }

public class LetterBody {
	// Mixed content can contain instances of Element classes
	// Name, Quantity and ProductName. Text data is represented as
// java.util.String for text.
@XmlMixed 
	@XmlElementRefs({
	@XmlElementRef(name="productName", type=JAXBElement.class),
	@XmlElementRef(name="quantity", type=JAXBElement.class),
	@XmlElementRef(name="name", type=JAXBElement.class)})
List getContent(){...}
}

The following is an XML instance document with mixed content

<letterBody>
Dear Mr.<name>Robert Smith</name>
Your order of <quantity>1</quantity> <productName>Baby
Monitor</productName> shipped from our warehouse. ....
</letterBody>

that can be constructed using following Jakarta XML Binding API calls.

LetterBody lb = ObjectFactory.createLetterBody();
JAXBElement<LetterBody> lbe = ObjectFactory.createLetterBody(lb);
List gcl = lb.getContent();  //add mixed content to general content property.
gcl.add("Dear Mr.");  // add text information item as a String.
// add child element information item
gcl.add(ObjectFactory.createLetterBodyName("Robert Smith"));
gcl.add("Your order of "); // add text information item as a String
// add children element information items
gcl.add(ObjectFactory.
	 		createLetterBodyQuantity(new BigInteger("1")));
gcl.add(ObjectFactory.createLetterBodyProductName("Baby Monitor"));
gcl.add("shipped from our warehouse");  // add text information item
