<P>
Generates a wrapper element around XML representation.
This is primarily intended to be used to produce a wrapper
XML element around collections. The annotation therefore supports
two forms of serialization shown below.
<pre>
//Example: code fragment
int[] names;
// XML Serialization Form 1 (Unwrapped collection)
&lt;names> ... &lt;/names>
&lt;names> ... &lt;/names>
// XML Serialization Form 2 ( Wrapped collection )
&lt;wrapperElement>
&lt;names> value-of-item &lt;/names>
&lt;names> value-of-item &lt;/names>
....
&lt;/wrapperElement>
</pre>
<p> The two serialized XML forms allow a null collection to be
represented either by absence or presence of an element with a
nillable attribute.
<p> <b>Usage</b> </p>
<p>
The <tt>@XmlElementWrapper</tt> annotation can be used with the
following program elements:
<ul>
<li> JavaBean property </li>
<li> non static, non transient field </li>
</ul>
<p>The usage is subject to the following constraints:
<ul>
<li> The property must be a collection property </li>
<li> This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
<A HREF="../../../../javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlElement.html" title="annotation in javax.xml.bind.annotation"><CODE>XmlElement</CODE></A>,
<A HREF="../../../../javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlElements.html" title="annotation in javax.xml.bind.annotation"><CODE>XmlElements</CODE></A>,
