/**
* Marks a property that receives a location from which the object is unmarshalled.
*
* Usage
*
* The @XmlLocation can be specified on:
*
* - a field whose type is {@link Locator}, or
*
- a method that takes a {@link Locator} as the sole parameter
*
*
*
* When a class that contains such a field/method is unmarshalled by the JAXB RI,
* such a field/method will receive an immutable {@link Locator} object that describes
* the location in the XML document where the object is unmarshalled from.
*
*
* If the unmarshaller does not know the source location information, the locator
* will not be set. For example, this happens when it is unmarshalling from a DOM tree.
* This also happens if you use JAXB implementations other than the JAXB RI.
*
*
* This information can be used by applications, for example to provide user-friendly
* error information.
