What is the Default Data Type Mapping of XML Schema and Java defined in JAXB API?

Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) is a Java API that allows Java developers to map Java classes to XML representations.

The JAXB 2.2 release defines the following default mapping between XML Schema data types and Java data types:

XML  Schema Datatype   Java Datatype
-------------------   -------------
xsd:string            java.lang.String

xsd:time              javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar 
xsd:date              javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar 
xsd:g*                javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar 
xsd:anySimpleType     java.lang.Object for elements
