/**
* 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)
* <names> ... </names>
* <names> ... </names>
*
* // XML Serialization Form 2 ( Wrapped collection )
* <wrapperElement>
* <names> value-of-item </names>
* <names> value-of-item </names>
* ....
* </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:
* {@link XmlElement},
* {@link XmlElements},
* {@link XmlElementRef},
* {@link XmlElementRefs},
* {@link XmlJavaTypeAdapter}.</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
* additional common information.</p>
