generating JAXB objects from XML - jaxb

Question

I have a problem, I have an XSD file which I am trying to validate with an XML:
The XSD starts with:
<xs:schema id="Notes"
targetNamespace="http://mynotes.com/Notes"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns="http://mynotes.com/Notes"
xmlns:mstns="http://mynotes.com/Notes"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
Then I have the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<notes xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="noNamespaceSchemaLocation" xmlns="http://mynotes.com/Notes">
In that case I can validate, but when I use JAXB to create an objects, the objects don't get populated and all their members are null.
But, If I modify the XML to the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<notes>...
In this case the JAXB objects are created successfully, but the validation fails...
I guess I am missing something with the namespace declaration, your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can use the package level #XmlSchema annotation to specify the default namespace qualification for your JAXB model. Below is an example, you will need to adjust the package to be the same as your domain classes.
com/example/package-info.java
#XmlSchema(
namespace = "http://mynotes.com/Notes",
elementFormDefault = XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)
package com.example;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema;
