Maps a JavaBean property to a map of wildcard attributes.
 Usage 
 The @XmlAnyAttribute annotation can be used with the following program elements: 

  
 JavaBean property 
  
 non static, non transient field 

See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
additional common information.
The usage is subject to the following constraints:

  
 At most one field or property in a class can be annotated with @XmlAnyAttribute. 
  
 The type of the property or the field must java.util.Map 

 While processing attributes to be unmarshalled into a value class, each attribute that is not statically associated with another JavaBean property, via XmlAttribute, is entered into the wildcard attribute map represented by Map<QName,Object>. The attribute QName is the map's key. The key's value is the String value of the attribute.
