/**
 * Generates a wrapper element around XML representation.
 *
 * This is primarily intended to be used to produce a wrapper
 * XML element around collections. The annotation therefore supports
 * two forms of serialization shown below. 
 *
 *  *    //Example: code fragment
 *      int[] names;
 *
 *    // XML Serialization Form 1 (Unwrapped collection)
 *    <names> ... </names>
 *    <names> ... </names>
 * 
 *    // XML Serialization Form 2 ( Wrapped collection )
 *    <wrapperElement>
 *       <names> value-of-item </names>
 *       <names> value-of-item </names>
 *       ....
 *    </wrapperElement>
 * 
 *
 *  The two serialized XML forms allow a null collection to be
 * represented either by absence or presence of an element with a
 * nillable attribute.
 * 
 * 
 Usage 
 * 
 * The @XmlElementWrapper annotation can be used with the
 * following program elements: 
 * 
 
 *    JavaBean property 
 *    non static, non transient field 
 * 
 *
 * The usage is subject to the following constraints:
 * 

 *    The property must be a collection property 
 *    This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
 *            {@link XmlElement}, 
 *            {@link XmlElements},
 *            {@link XmlElementRef},
 *            {@link XmlElementRefs},
 *            {@link XmlJavaTypeAdapter}.
 * 
 *
 * See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
 * additional common information.
