<p>In most cases, EclipseLink can determine the target format in the XML document. However, there are cases where you must specify which one of a number of possible targets EclipseLink should use. For example, a <code>java.util.Calendar</code> could be marshalled to a schema <code>date</code>, <code>time</code>, or <code>dateTime</code> node, or a <code>byte[]</code> could be marshalled to a schema <code>hexBinary</code> or <code>base64Binary</code> node.</p>

By default, JAXB will marshall <code>byte[]</code> to <code>base64Binary</code>, so nothing special is needed for the resume mapping.
