/**
 * XmlLocation can be used on a property of type Locator, to provide information about
 * the XML location (line and column number, source location) that the owning object was unmarshalled from.
 *
 * This annotation can be used on:
 * 
 *      a Field of type org.xml.sax.Locator
 *      a set or get Method that takes/returns a single parameter, of type org.xml.sax.Locator
 * 
 *
 * If this property is also marked as XmlTransient, then no Location information
 * will be marshalled to XML, however the Location will be set on the object when unmarshalling.
 *
 * @see org.xml.sax.Locator
