Try this:

@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(propOrder = {"contract", "order"})
public class Info {
@XmlElement(required = true)
private Contract contract;
@XmlElement(required = true)
private Order order; // Getters and setters
}

Another class:

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(propOrder = {"symbol", "sectype", "exchange", "currency"})
public class Contract {
@XmlElement(required = true)
private String symbol;
@XmlElement(required = true)
private String sectype;
@XmlElement(required = true)
private String exchange;
@XmlElement(required = true)
private String currency;

//Getters and setters
}

Create an order class the same way.

Un-annotated fields will be treated as @XmlElement, if you don't need to specify required=true (which corresponds to minOccurs="1" in the schema) then you don't need use as many @XmlElement annotations.
