This blog entry will solve the worst example among these JAXB examples and provide a sample approach to solve the other simpler ones. Although the example belongs to the owners of the URL sited above the solution which makes it work belongs to me. I happily provide every detail of my solution here to the possibly interested people.
You can also contact me the working solutions of the other examples which I may consequently send you by e-mail(arsaral(at)yahoo.com).
