Validating datatypes with JAXB while unmarshalling

Question

Hi,
is there in JAXB any method to check correct datatypes while JAXB unmarshalling
For example, I tried to unmarshall an xml file to objects and in on element of this XML file there was the data "AAAA"
<testElement>AAAA</testElement>
in the XSD Shema this element was declared as type Integer.
After unmarshalling the xml doc I've got an Object with an Attribut testElement which has the value "0" ... so can I test
type while unmarshalling an throw an exception?
Thanks a lot for your help!
with best regards
Rene
Forget it ... problem almost solved ...

I'm having what I think is a related problem to what's mentioned in this thread. Has anyone successfully used targetNamespace with JAXB? Below is the sample schema and xml I'm trying to unmarshal via JAXB version 1.02. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is the schema:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://foo.com/repository/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://foo.com/repository/"
elementFormDefault="unqualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xsd:element name="purchaseOrder" type="PurchaseOrderType"/>
<xsd:complexType name="PurchaseOrderType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="poText" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
====================================
This is the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<purchaseOrder xmlns="http://foo.com/repository/">
<poText>foo</poText>
</purchaseOrder>
====================================
After calling unmarshal (with appropriate namespace), I get:
DefaultValidationEventHandler: [ERROR]: Unexpected element {http://foo.com/repository/}:poText
Location: line 3 of file:/C:/project/dev/prototype/repository/example/query.xml
javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: Unexpected element {http://foo.com/repository/}:poText
Can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks.
