 * This feature instructs that the specified {@link JAXBContextFactory} be used for performing

 * @UsesJAXBContext(MyJAXBContextFactory.class)
 * public class HelloService {
 *   ...

 * 
 * If your {@link JAXBContextFactory} needs to carry some state from your calling application,

 * instead of using this to specify the type.
