JAXB: How do I annotate classes so that they belong to different namespaces?

java xml namespaces jaxb urn

@XmlRootElement(name="someRootElement", namespace = "urn:my:ns1")
class Test {
    @XmlElement(name="someElement", namespace="urn:my:ns1")
    String elem1 = "One";

    @XmlElement(name="someElement", namespace="urn:my:ns2")
    String elem2 = "Two";

    @XmlElement(name="someElement", namespace="urn:my:ns3")
    String elem3 = "Three";
}

This marshals into the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<someRootElement xmlns="urn:my:ns1" xmlns:ns2="urn:my:ns2" xmlns:ns3="urn:my:ns3">
    <someElement>One</someElement>
    <ns2:someElement>Two</ns2:someElement>
    <ns3:someElement>Three</ns3:someElement>
</someRootElement>

If you are using JAXB RI and don't like the default ns2 and ns3 namespace prefixes, you need to provide your own NamespacePrefixMapper.

!!! Netbeans 6.7 RELEASED !!! C is far better and easier than Java! Why? It is easier to use void pointers and to do pointer arithmetic, than explaining the basic concepts of OOP to a C programmer. Joke of the century: PHP is good, because it works... "PHP programming" is an oxymoron. There is no PHP programming. There is only PHP scriptkidding. There are two types of people who use PHP: - those who don't know other languages, - and those who HAVE TO use it Java is to JavaScript what Car is to Carpet. The LHC is the wrong answer to the technological singularity.

I want to have JAXB-annotated classes which would be marshalled/unmarshalled to different XML namespaces.

What I need is something like:
```
<someRootElement xmlns="urn:my:ns1"
    xmlns:a="urn:my:ns2" xmlns:b="urn:my:ns3">

  <someElement/>
  <a:someElement/>
  <b:someElement/>

</someRootElement>
```
How can it be done?

Can it be done programatically? (without the need for JAXB's .xjb bindings file?)
