Description

XmlAdapter is not being used for marshalling/unmarshalling in a JAX-WS service with the following conditions:

-XmlAdapter is being hooked up with @XmlJavaTypeAdapters in package-info.java
-Class that XmlAdapter handles (bound type) has a no-arg constructor

If the no-arg constructor is removed from the bound type, the XmlAdapter is correctly used.
