The main deficiency in these examples is; po.xml and po.xsd is provided instead of the primer.po package. You have to create this package with xjc from po.xml and po.xsd.
C:\Users\ars\Desktop\nbJAXB\modify-marshalARS>xjc po.xsd
parsing a schema...
compiling a schema...
generated\Items.java
generated\ObjectFactory.java
generated\PurchaseOrderType.java
generated\USAddress.java
C:\Users\ars\Desktop\nbJAXB\modify-marshalARS>This command creates a generated dir in the same location as po.xml. You can copy its content to the primer.po package. You may also use the parameters of the xjc command to do this directly.
The directory structure looks like this:

Once you create the primer.po package using the xjc command you can use the primer.po in almost all the JAXB examples of JAVAEE5. One problem you may encounter though it may require a root element annotation.
@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "PurchaseOrderType", propOrder = {
"shipTo",
"billTo",
"comment",
"items"
})
public class PurchaseOrderType {
A better example is given by JAVAEE5 in the j2s-xml-rootElement example:
@XmlRootElement(name = "purchaseOrder")
@XmlType(name = "PurchaseOrderType")
public class PurchaseOrderType {
public CreditCardVendor creditCardVendor;
public USAddress billTo;
public USAddress shipTo;
Do not forget to add:
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
