Let’s say I have an object (ID).  ID:-          Number-          VersionThis can be easily expressed as a simple string in the format <number>-<version> e.g. 1234-1In most cases I’d like to express this as an attribute for other xml elements (id=”1234-1”)However, it’s currently in element format.e.g. <ID number=”1234” version=”1”>  How do I get this annotated to read into and out of another object’s element’s attribute?e.g.<someOtherObject attribute1=”blah blah” id=”1234-1”/>    To make this request more complicated, let’s say I want to preserve some backwards compatibility and be able to deserialize the old element based XML, how would I do that?  Can I serialize the ID as an element in some cases where it is specified as an @Element in one including object or as an attribute in another including object where it is annotated as @Attribute there?  Thanks!
