The ObjectFactory in the Jaxb generated classes fail to include a getter for notebooks and maybe others.

[peterwithers]

It looks like there might be some namespace pollution or some other anomaly that causes the jaxb auto generated classes to omit the getter for notebooks from the ObjectFactory?. This is an issue when a jaxb root node is required, such as in the rest interface. A work around has been added which makes it clear where the issue is and why the ObjectFactory? is required, but this needs to be replaced when the schema is updated.

Added temporary creation of JAXBElement in the unit test to make it clear where the jaxb root node issues stem from. This should be removed and replaced by the same as returned by the ObjectFactory? when cause of it not being auto generated is resolved.

The current hypothesis is that JAXB get confused by plural forms used in the schema in type names for lists of resources, e.g. Annotation --> Annotations, Notebook --> Notebooks etc. Replace plural forms with other wording and check if it fixes the problem.

Stephanie&Olof: the plural forms can - and should - be replaced more or less immediately, e.g. by adding the suffix "List" or "Collection" instead of plural "s". For instance, the serialized xml output could then match the following snippet

<annotationCollection>  
   <annotation>
      <!-- elements of annotation -->
   </annotation>
</annotationCollection>

Speaking of diverse "JAXB plural issues", there were some hints on the web regarding (inline and external) Java binding customization for JAXB, - it might be that this would also be a viable solution approach.
