Hi,

I have been fighting with these issues.

Here is the proposed solution i am currently using on OpenStack Java SDK.

*Every representation should implement a common interface*

The jaxb annotations for marshalling and unmarshalling XML reside on xml
implementation class
The gson annotations for serialization and deserialization of JSON reside
on json implementation class

This approach is unobstrussive with XML/JSON representations

I think 95% of the API works well mixing jaxb/gson annotations on the same
implementation classes.

This has another advantage, you can switch from one to another service
provider sharing the same model,
that's the interfaces model but the implentation.

Does it make sense for you?

Luis
