I don't think it can be solved like this. How is the unmarshaller
supposed to know what to unmarshal the data to?

But more importantly, what's that data (the XML you created) gonna be
used for? Some(one|thing) has to understand it, right? But if for
some(one|thing) to understand it, it's oughta have a well-defined
structure, ought it not? It's oughta have a schema, ought it not?

Well, then bloody formalise and code that schema, and then if you want
to have your JAXB context be aware of classes the use of which it cannot
infer, use @XmlSeeAlso.
