We are finding things like URI and String[] do not automatically marshall across the Sun implemenation of JaxWs 2.1.  Are other people finding this, or is nobody using the Sun implementation.

Incidently, I think the annotations stuff is brilliant and the interweaving of JaxB.  But the implementation is catching up...

Looks like there is user defineable primitive type mechanism.  But I am not sure why they don't ship with these done for URI.

Although I haven't verified this completely, I think you should be able to go either way.  For instance, this mapping that I had in my XML schema:

  <xs:annotation>
    <xs:appinfo>
      <jaxb:globalBindings>
        <jaxb:serializable/>
        <xjc:javaType name="java.sql.Timestamp" xmlType="TimestampStringType" adapter="TimeConverter"/>
      </jaxb:globalBindings>
    </xs:appinfo>
  </xs:annotation>

  <xs:simpleType name="TimestampStringType">
    <xs:annotation>
      <xs:documentation>W3C Schema date-time constrained to Zulu.</xs:documentation>
    </xs:annotation>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:dateTime">
      <xs:pattern value=".+Z"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>

mapped to this in the generated JAXB object:

...
    @XmlElement(name = "Timestamp", required = true, type = String.class)
    @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(TimeConverter.class)
    protected Timestamp timestamp;
...

where TimeConverter is:

package com.ticomgeo.mtops.adapters;

import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.util.TimeZone;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters.XmlAdapter;

public class TimeConverter extends XmlAdapter<String, Timestamp> {

  static {
    TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Zulu"));
  }

  @Override
  public Timestamp unmarshal(String value) {
    if (value == null) {
      return null;
    }  
    value = value.replace("T"," ").replaceFirst("[Zz]","");
    Timestamp t = Timestamp.valueOf(value);
    return t;
  }

  @Override
  public String marshal(Timestamp value) {
    if (value == null) {
      return null;
    }  
    String datetime = value.toString().replace(" ","T")+"Z";
    return datetime;
  }

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    Timestamp t = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
    System.out.println(t.toString());
    TimeConverter tc = new TimeConverter();
    System.out.println(tc.marshal(t));
    Timestamp t1 = tc.unmarshal(tc.marshal(t));
    System.out.println(t1);
    if (t1.equals(t)) {
      System.out.println("Passed");
    }  
  }
}
