adding @XmlAttribute to a simple type

Question

I am trying to add an attribute using javax.xml.bind.annotation to a simple type (String in this case)

so i want this

<myObj><stuff foo="bar">data</stuff></myObj>

if stuff is a string inside of 'myObj' , is this possible?

I know that this is most likely easy i was just having trouble finding an example that added an attribute to a non-complex type.

thanks so much!

What value has 'stuff'? "data"? or "bar"? What is 'foo' here? — Ilya, Jun 15 '12 at 10:57
sorry that it was a bit vague, but stuff i want to be a string in my bean, but the foo i would like to be an attribute of that string, but i would like to do it without creating an additional object of type stuff that would contain just a string and one attribute. — nemisis enforcer, Jun 18 '12 at 13:14

I hate leaving things hanging... Basically what i was trying to do was to add an attribute to a String who was residing in the class , but what i had to do was to wrap that string into a pojo who had an xmlvlaue as well as other members for the attributes.

thanks
