    31  * Optional interface that can be implemented by JAXB-bound objects

    33  *

    34  * <p>

    35  * As discussed in <a href="https://jaxb.dev.java.net/guide/Mapping_cyclic_references_to_XML.html">

    36  * the users' guide</a>, normally a cycle in the object graph causes the marshaller to report an error,

    37  * and when an error is found, the JAXB RI recovers by cutting the cycle arbitrarily.

    38  * This is not always a desired behavior.

    39  *

    40  * <p>

    41  * Implementing this interface allows user application to change this behavior.

    42  * Also see <a href="http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=13670">this related discussion</a>.
