 * 
 * Annotate a JavaBean multi-valued property to support mixed content.
 *
 * 

 * The usage is subject to the following constraints:
 * 

 *    can be used with @XmlElementRef, @XmlElementRefs or @XmlAnyElement
 * 
 * 
 * The following can be inserted into @XmlMixed annotated multi-valued property
 * 

 * XML text information items are added as values of java.lang.String.
 * Children element information items are added as instances of
 * {@link JAXBElement} or instances with a class that is annotated with
 * @XmlRootElement.
 * Unknown content that is not be bound to a JAXB mapped class is inserted
 * as {@link Element}. (Assumes property annotated with @XmlAnyElement)
 * 
 *
 * Below is an example of binding and creation of mixed content.

 * The following is an XML instance document with mixed content
 * {@code
 * 
 * Dear Mr.Robert Smith
 * Your order of 1 Baby
 * Monitor shipped from our warehouse. ....
 * 
 * }
 * that can be constructed using following JAXB API calls.
 * {@code
 * LetterBody lb = ObjectFactory.createLetterBody();
 * JAXBElement lbe = ObjectFactory.createLetterBody(lb);
 * List gcl = lb.getContent();  //add mixed content to general content property.
 * gcl.add("Dear Mr.");  // add text information item as a String.

 * // add child element information item
 * gcl.add(ObjectFactory.createLetterBodyName("Robert Smith"));
