  34  * <p>
  35  * Enables mapping a class to a  XML Schema complex type with a
  36  * simpleContent or a XML Schema simple type.
  37  * </p>
  38  *
  39  * <p>
  40  * <b> Usage: </b>
  41  * <p>
  42  * The <tt>@XmlValue</tt> annotation can be used with the following program
  43  * elements:
  44  * <ul>
  45  *   <li> a JavaBean property.</li>
  46  *   <li> non static, non transient field.</li>
  47  * </ul>
  48  *
  49  * <p>See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
  50  * additional common information.</p>
  51  *
  52  * The usage is subject to the following usage constraints:
  53  * <ul>
  54  *   <li>At most one field or property can be annotated with the
  55  *       <tt>@XmlValue</tt> annotation. </li>
  56  *
  57  *   <li><tt>@XmlValue</tt> can be used with the following
  58  *   annotations: {@link XmlList}. However this is redundant since
  59  *   {@link XmlList} maps a type to a simple schema type that derives by
  60  *   list just as {@link XmlValue} would. </li>
  61  *
  62  *   <li>If the type of the field or property is a collection type,
  63  *       then the collection item type must map to a simple schema
  64  *       type.  </li>
  65  *
  66  *   <li>If the type of the field or property is not a collection
  67  *       type, then the type must map to a XML Schema simple type. </li>
  68  *
  69  * </ul>
  70  * <p>
  71  * If the annotated JavaBean property is the sole class member being
  72  * mapped to XML Schema construct, then the class is mapped to a
  73  * simple type.
  74  *
  75  * If there are additional JavaBean properties (other than the
  76  * JavaBean property annotated with <tt>@XmlValue</tt> annotation)
  77  * that are mapped to XML attributes, then the class is mapped to a
  78  * complex type with simpleContent.
  79  * </p>
  80  *
  81  * <p> <b> Example 1: </b> Map a class to XML Schema simpleType</p>
  82  *
  83  *   <pre>
  84  *
  85  *     // Example 1: Code fragment
  86  *     public class USPrice {
  87  *         @XmlValue
  88  *         public java.math.BigDecimal price;
  89  *     }
  90  * {@code
  91  *
  92  *     <!-- Example 1: XML Schema fragment -->
  93  *     <xs:simpleType name="USPrice">
  94  *       <xs:restriction base="xs:decimal"/>
  95  *     </xs:simpleType>
