This feature instructs that the specified JAXBContextFactory be used for performing data-binding for the SEI. 

For example,
@WebService
@UsesJAXBContext(MyJAXBContextFactory.class)
public class HelloService {
  ...
}

 If your JAXBContextFactory needs to carry some state from your calling application, you can use UsesJAXBContextFeature to pass in an instance of JAXBContextFactory, instead of using this to specify the type.
