following xsd (partial):
<xs:complexType name="Fruit">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="type" type="FruitType"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleType name="FruitType">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
        <xs:enumeration value="ABC">
        </xs:enumeration>
        <xs:enumeration value="DEF">
        </xs:enumeration>
        <xs:enumeration value="GHI">
        </xs:enumeration>
        <xs:enumeration value="JKL">
        </xs:enumeration>
    </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
Generating code with xjc will generate the following java code (FruitType is an Enum):
    @XmlElement(required = true)
    @XmlSchemaType(name = "string")
    protected FruitType fruit;
When generating a SOAP WebService with JAX-WS the following element will be generated:
<xs:element name="type" type="xs:string"/>
Which ist obviously wrong. I'd expect this to be
<xs:element name="type" type="FruitType"/>
If I delete this line by hand
    @XmlSchemaType(name = "string")
in my Java Code everything in the wsdl is fine :
<xs:element name="type" type="tns:FruitType"/>
So the question is: How can I tell JAXB not to generate the @XmlSchemaType?
Instead of referencing FruitType with type
<xs:complexType name="Fruit">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="type" type="FruitType"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
the trick ist to have a simpleType inline:
    <xs:complexType name="Fruit">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="type">
            <xs:simpleType>
                <xs:restriction base="FruitType"/>
            </xs:simpleType>
        </xs:element>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
this will generate the correct java file and WSDL:
<xs:element name="type" type="tns:FruitType"/>
