No descriptor found while unmarshalling element mapped to attribute

I have a REST client and server (Jersey) communicating via JSON messages. After switching both from Jackson to MOXy I started getting XMLMarshalException: No descriptor found while unmarshalling element mapped to attribute someAttribute.

The element looks in JSON as follows: "someAttribute": [{ "type": "string", "value": "a string" }]
while corresponding Java element is List<Object> someAttribute; with standard getter and setter methods.

If I use Jackson at the client (which sends the data) however, same data is sent without type and deserialized correctly by MOXy:

"someAttribute": ["a string"]

Why MOXy cannot process its own JSON and how can I solve this problem?

MOXy 2.6.0

You can also set the JAXBContextProperties.JSON_TYPE_COMPATIBILITY on the client to true and it works just nice. There are several ways to register this setting. One is directly on the jersey client:

    client = javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder.newClient();
    client.register(new ContextResolver<MoxyJsonConfig>() {
        @Override
        public MoxyJsonConfig getContext(Class<?> type) {
            return new MoxyJsonConfig().unmarshallerProperty(JAXBContextProperties.JSON_TYPE_COMPATIBILITY, Boolean.TRUE);
        }
    });
