Use Spring's MarshallingHttpMessageConverter and MOXy without @XmlRootElement [message #899336]

I trying to exclusively use the MOXy mapping file instead of annotations to define my object to xml mapping. The only roadblock I have encountered is the need for the @XmlRootElement annotation due to the use of Spring's MarshallingHttpMessageConverter and Jaxb2Marshaller which require an @XmlRootElement annotation (Specifically the Jaxb2Marshaller.supportsInternal method).

Any suggestions for dealing with this (I don't want to use JAXBElements)? Would you agree that Spring should change Jaxb2Marshaller to allow usage in a mode where @XmlRootElement is not present.

Hi Ben,

I'm not familiar with MarshallingHttpMessageConverter, but looking at the Javadoc it appears to closely resemble MessageBodyReader/MessageBodyWriter in JAX-RS. Does this mechanism for you to write your own converter extension where you could implement your own supports method?

Here is a link to a sample MessageBodyReader/MessageBodyWriter that I wrote to enable MOXy as a JAX-RS JSON-binding provider that you could use as a guide.
