This is one of the things that's up in the air in XMLSchema, as far as I'm aware, what happens with annotations on refs to elements/attributes. Because of that we just picked one approach until this becomes clearer. The approach that we picked was that the annotation be part of the reference and not an "addition" to the reference (hope you understand what I mean).
So I guess you could modify your Schema, if that's an option, to use local elements instead of refs or you can use the XmlBeans for Schema4Schemas (the org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.xb.xsdschema package) to get the Schema as XML or, well, patch the code to do what you want ;-)!

When I want to get an annotation of refed element, I do not get it. Instead I get the annotation of referenced element. Here is the annotation I want to get (using SchemaLocalElement.getAnnotation()): <xsd:element ref="tns:imports"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo>blabalbal</xsd:appinfo> </xsd:annotation> </xsd:element> But instead it returns: <xsd:element name="imports"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo>blebelbel</xsd:appinfo> </xsd:annotation> </xsd:element> I cannot find a way to get the former annotation, can you help me?
