| /** |
| * <b>Purpose:</b> Provide a way to allow classes, which contain property annotated with XmlValue to extend classes other than java.lang.Object. |
| * By default, all classes containing property annotated with XmlValue annotation are restricted to extends java.lang.Object type. |
| * <p>If XmlValueExtension annotation is used, there is no inheritance restriction.</p> |
| * <p>Using XmlValueExtension provides a way how to achieve backward compatibility with EclipseLink 2.5.x and before.</p> |
| * <p>When using xml bindings with XmlValue property, it has same behavior as when XmlValueExtension is used. |
| * It means that there is no need to specify XmlValueExtension in xml, because the behavior is provided by default. |
