Problem using JAXB (from Sun)

[Mukul Gandhi <mukul_gandhi@yahoo.com>]

I have got a Java object, which I want to marshal to
XML file finally.

Below is the JAXB code I have written so far -

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;
import javax.xml.bind.Marshaller;

public class CatalogueMain {
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
     CatalogueCategory catalogue_category =
                       new CatalogueCategory(
                       1,
                       "Computer Products",
                       "Computer Product Category",
                       -1
					   );

     CatalogueEntry catalogue_entry =
                    new CatalogueEntry(
                    1,
                    1,
                    "Hard Disk",
                    "Computer Hard Disk",
                    "Technical vetting",
                    "Business authorization",
                    55,
                    "GBP",
                    1,
                    "dummy_image_url",
                    new Date(2005,5,8),
                    "procure"
					);

     //create a Marshaller and marshal to standard
output
     try
     {
        JAXBContext jc =
JAXBContext.newInstance("generated");

        Marshaller m = jc.createMarshaller();
	    m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT,
Boolean.TRUE);
        m.marshal(catalogue_entry, System.out);
     }
     catch(Exception ex)
     {
        ex.printStackTrace();
     }
  }
}

When I run this program, I am getting following
exception -

javax.xml.bind.MarshalException: the object parameter
to marshal() is not marsha
llable
        at
generated.impl.runtime.MarshallerImpl.marshal(MarshallerImpl.java:88)

        at
javax.xml.bind.helpers.AbstractMarshallerImpl.marshal(AbstractMarshal
lerImpl.java:66)
        at CatalogueMain.main(CatalogueMain.java:47)

Can somebody please tell where could be the problem?

The CatalogueEntry class definition is -
public class CatalogueEntry extends EntryAttributes
implements java.io.Serializable {

	/**

	public CatalogueEntry() {

	private int catalogueCategoryId = 0;

	/**

	 */
	private String catalogueCategoryName = null;

	/**

	 */
	private String partNumber = null;

	/**

I'll be grateful for any help.
