Java: JAXB and using char

I'm working on a project with JAXB but I run into a small problem with JAXB and the char datatype.

char gender = 'M';

Translates after marshalling into:

<gender>77</gender>

So I think that char is mapped to integer, but I simply want to map it to a String. How can I do this? Is it even possible?
