Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
I tried to use @XmlSeeAlso annotation as you mentioned but it doesn't work as I
would like.
I get also a response for my question from Gen Mazza who said there is not a
way to do that and
the only thing going over the wire would be a Person XML object (even if it is
a subclass of it).
