See example below:

Customer

    @XmlRootElement
    @XmlType(name="")
    @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
    public class Customer {
        private Address address;
    }

Address

    @XmlRootElement
    @XmlType(name="")
    @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
    public class Address {
        private String street;
    }

Currently we generate the following XML schema:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
      <xsd:element name="address">
         <xsd:complexType>
            <xsd:sequence>
               <xsd:element name="street" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
            </xsd:sequence>
         </xsd:complexType>
      </xsd:element>
      <xsd:element name="customer">
         <xsd:complexType>
            <xsd:sequence>
               <xsd:element name="address" minOccurs="0">
                  <xsd:complexType>
                     <xsd:sequence>
                        <xsd:element name="street" type="xsd:string"
minOccurs="0"/>
                     </xsd:sequence>
                  </xsd:complexType>
               </xsd:element>
            </xsd:sequence>
         </xsd:complexType>
      </xsd:element>
   </xsd:schema>

But we could generate, because in this case the element name for the property
exactly matches the root element name for the Address class:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
  <xs:schema version="1.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xs:element name="address">
      <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
          <xs:element name="street" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
        </xs:sequence>
      </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
    <xs:element name="customer">
      <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
          <xs:element ref="address" minOccurs="0"/>
        </xs:sequence>
      </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
  </xs:schema>
