7.8.4.8 ComplexType
A <property> customization is allowed on the annotation element of a
complex type. The customization values must be defined as specified in
Section 7.8.1, ?Usage? and have component scope. The result of this
customization depends upon the content type of the complex type.

If the content type of the content model is simple content, then the
content model must be bound to a property as specified in
Section 6.3.2.1, ?Simple Content Binding.? applying the customization
overrides as specified in Section 7.8.3, ?Customization Overrides.? If
javaType is defined, then the propertyBaseType is defined to be
Java datatype specified in the "name" attribute of the javaType.
