If I have a class annotated with

@XmlType(name = "someDTO", propOrder = { "firstField", "secondField", })

but the XML (from a SOAP response, say) looks like

<return><firstField>a</firstField><secondField>b</secondField><thirdField>c</thirdField></return>

My object will still get firstField and secondField populated, and thirdField is ignored.

Why is this? Will this always be the case? Is there a way to prevent object creation if extra fields are present?
