Iteroperability of xsi:types

In using Castor to marshal and unmarshal in a Java server environment.

If an element in the xsd has a type which is "anyType" such as ...

<element ref="saml:SubjectConfirmationData" minOccurs="0"/>
<element name="SubjectConfirmationData" type="anyType"/>

This creates a descriptor which looks like this...

org.exolab.castor.xml.util.XMLFieldDescriptorImpl desc = new
org.exolab.castor.xml.util.XMLFieldDescriptorImpl(java.lang.Object.class,
"_subjectConfirmationData", "SubjectConfirmationData",
org.exolab.castor.xml.NodeType.Element);

When the value of this element is set to a String and
marshalled, the xml looks like this...

<saml:SubjectConfirmationData
xsi:type="java:java.lang.String">AAMLx0...4DeNzUGH</saml:SubjectConfirmationData>

The xsi:type should be a base type like xsd:string instead of a
java:java.lang.String for interoperability with .NET and other programming
languages.
