/**
* <p>
* Maps a JavaBean property to an XML element derived from property's type.
* <p>
* <b>Usage</b>
* <p>
* {@code @XmlElementRef} annotation can be used with a
* JavaBean property or from within {@link XmlElementRefs}
* <p>
* This annotation dynamically associates an XML element name with the JavaBean
* property. When a JavaBean property is annotated with {@link
* XmlElement}, the XML element name is statically derived from the
* JavaBean property name. However, when this annotation is used, the
* XML element name is derived from the instance of the type of the
* JavaBean property at runtime.
*
* <h2> XML Schema substitution group support </h2>
* XML Schema allows an XML document author to use XML element names
* that were not statically specified in the content model of a
* schema using substitution groups. Schema derived code provides
* support for substitution groups using an <i>element property</i>,
* (section 5.5.5, "Element Property" of Jakarta XML Binding specification). An
* element property method signature is of the form:
* {@snippet :
* public void setTerm(JAXBElement<? extends Operator>);
* public JAXBElement<? extends Operator> getTerm();
* }
* <p>
* An element factory method annotated with {@link XmlElementDecl} is
* used to create a {@code JAXBElement} instance, containing an XML
* element name. The presence of {@code @XmlElementRef} annotation on an
* element property indicates that the element name from {@code JAXBElement}
* instance be used instead of deriving an XML element name from the
* JavaBean property name.
*
* <p>
* The usage is subject to the following constraints:
* <ul>
* <li> If the collection item type (for collection property) or
* property type (for single valued property) is
* {@link jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBElement}, then
* {@code @XmlElementRef.name()} and {@code @XmlElementRef.namespace()} must
* point an element factory method with an @XmlElementDecl
* annotation in a class annotated with @XmlRegistry (usually
* ObjectFactory class generated by the schema compiler) :
* <ul>
* <li> @XmlElementDecl.name() must equal @XmlElementRef.name() </li>
* <li> @XmlElementDecl.namespace() must equal @XmlElementRef.namespace(). </li>
* </ul>
* </li>
* <li> If the collection item type (for collection property) or
* property type (for single valued property) is not
* {@link jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBElement}, then the type referenced by the
* property or field must be annotated with {@link XmlRootElement}. </li>
* <li> This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
* {@link XmlElementWrapper}, {@link XmlJavaTypeAdapter}.
* </ul>
*
* <p>See "Package Specification" in jakarta.xml.bind.package javadoc for
* additional common information.</p>
*
* <p><b>Example 1: Ant Task Example</b></p>
* The following Java class hierarchy models an Ant build
* script. An Ant task corresponds to a class in the class
* hierarchy. The XML element name of an Ant task is indicated by the
* XmlRootElement annotation on its corresponding class.
* {@snippet :
* @XmlRootElement(name="target")
* class Target {
* // The presence of @XmlElementRef indicates that the XML
* // element name will be derived from the @XmlRootElement
* // annotation on the type (for e.g. "jar" for JarTask).
* @XmlElementRef
* List<Task> tasks;
* }
*
* abstract class Task {
* }
*
* @XmlRootElement(name="jar")
* class JarTask extends Task {
* ...
* }
*
* @XmlRootElement(name="javac")
* class JavacTask extends Task {
* ...
* }
* }
* {@snippet lang="XML" :
* <!-- XML Schema fragment -->
* <xs:element name="target" type="Target">
* <xs:complexType name="Target">
* <xs:sequence>
* <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
* <xs:element ref="jar"/>
* <xs:element ref="javac"/>
* </xs:choice>
* </xs:sequence>
* </xs:complexType>
* </xs:element>
* }
* <p>
* Thus the following code fragment:
* {@snippet :
* Target target = new Target();
* target.tasks.add(new JarTask());
* target.tasks.add(new JavacTask());
* marshal(target);
* }
* will produce the following XML output:
* {@snippet lang="XML" :
* <target>
* <jar>
* ....
* </jar>
* <javac>
* ....
* </javac>
* </target>
* }
* <p>
* It is not an error to have a class that extends {@code Task}
* that doesn't have {@link XmlRootElement}. But they can't show up in an
* XML instance (because they don't have XML element names).
*
* <p><b>Example 2: XML Schema Susbstitution group support</b>
* <p> The following example shows the annotations for XML Schema
* substitution groups. The annotations and the ObjectFactory are
* derived from the schema.
*
* {@snippet :
* @XmlElement
* class Math {
* // The value of type() is // @link substring="type()" target="#type()"
* // JAXBElement.class , which indicates the XML
* // element name ObjectFactory - in general a class marked
* // with @XmlRegistry. (See ObjectFactory below)
* //
* // The name() is "operator", a pointer to a // @link substring="name()" target="#name()"
* // factory method annotated with a
* // XmlElementDecl with the name "operator". Since //@link substring="XmlElementDecl" target="XmlElementDecl"
* // "operator" is the head of a substitution group that
* // contains elements "add" and "sub" elements, "operator"
* // element can be substituted in an instance document by
* // elements "add" or "sub". At runtime, JAXBElement
* // instance contains the element name that has been
* // substituted in the XML document.
* //
* @XmlElementRef(type=JAXBElement.class,name="operator")
* JAXBElement<? extends Operator> term;
* }
*
* @XmlRegistry
* class ObjectFactory {
* @XmlElementDecl(name="operator")
* JAXBElement<Operator> createOperator(Operator o) {...}
* @XmlElementDecl(name="add",substitutionHeadName="operator")
* JAXBElement<Operator> createAdd(Operator o) {...}
* @XmlElementDecl(name="sub",substitutionHeadName="operator")
* JAXBElement<Operator> createSub(Operator o) {...}
* }
*
* class Operator {
* ...
* }
* }
* <p>
* Thus, the following code fragment
* {@snippet :
* Math m = new Math();
* m.term = new ObjectFactory().createAdd(new Operator());
* marshal(m);
* }
* will produce the following XML output:
* {@snippet lang="XML" :
* <math>
* <add>...</add>
* </math>
* }
*
