JUnit Test case for MOXy marshalling bug when target object is derived from  Collection

If the target object to be marshalled ultimately is derived from a collection
MOXy's behavior is different from the JAXB reference implementation.

The attached JUnit test has the following object hierachy:

    ItemManager -extends-> MyMoxyManager
    MyMoxyManager -extends-> MoxyManagerImpl
    MoxyManagerImpl -implements-> MoxyManager
    MoxyManager -extends-> MoxyList
    MoxyList -extends-> Collection


The expected resulting XML is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<itemManager>
    <items>
        <value>2</value>
    </items>
</itemManager>

but MOXy JAXB marshalls to an empty string. This seems to be a bug.

and the attached JUnit test.
