Make it possible to deserialize content into property

[michelsalib]

Hi,
I would like to to deserialize this :

<offer>
    <cost currency="USD">0.00</shippingCost>
</offer>

Into these classes :

class Offer{
    /**
     * @Type("Price")
     */
    private $cost;
}

class Price {
    /**
     * @XmlAttribute
     */
    private $currency;

    /**
     * @Type("double")
     */
    private $price;
}

As you can see there is not attribute to tell that price should be the content of the xml node. So it would be very useful to have some kind of @XmlContent annotation to do this.

That's something we should add, I would definitely welcome a patch for this (preferably with unit tests).

Regarding the naming of the annotation, do you mind if we use @XmlValue instead (that's what JSR-222 uses)?

I am ok with the @XmlValue naming.

I'll try to find some time to submit a patch, but I don't do any promise.
