How to represent custom Java classes in a XML schema?

I have a Java class for which I want to create an XML schema - 

class Person {
   String name;
   Locale locale;
}

The name element can be defined as xsd:string type and mapping using JAXB is straightforward.

What is the good approach to represent the Locale class and how do I map it using JAXB?

You can use a JAXB XmlAdapter To convert an unmappable class into a mappable one for the purposes of marshalling/unmarshalling.

The only state that you need to persist from Locale are the language, country and variant.

<locale>
  <language>en</language>
  <country>US</country>
  <variant/>
</locale>
