Using @XmlPath with jaxb / MOXy to display complex type

I have a deep XML structure with many meaningless wrappers that I map to a single Java class. Comparing simple data types with @XmlPath is a walk in the park, but when it comes to types that really require their own class, I'm not quite sure how to do this, especially when these types should also be put on a list.

I am having trouble mapping all types elementin the example below to a class element. Since the wrapper elementsis in a resource that displays using @XmlPath, I cannot use @XmlElementWrapperwhich would otherwise be the way I would normally do it.

XML structure example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<s:root xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.eu/test ResourceSchema.xsd" xmlns:s="http://www.example.eu/test" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

        </s:information>
        <s:elements>
            <s:refobj>
                <s:id>1</s:id>
                <s:source>First Source</s:source>
            </s:refobj>
            <s:refobj>
                <s:id>2</s:id>
                <s:source>Second Source</s:source>

        Unmarshaller unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();

        StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(xml);

        root = (Root) unmarshaller.unmarshal(stringReader);
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        System.err.println("Failed to unmarshal XML!");
    }

    try {
        JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Root.class);
        Marshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();

        marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_ENCODING, "UTF-8");
        marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, Boolean.TRUE);
