How to add wsa reference parameters to cxf client call?

Question

I understand how to simply add the "standard" ws addressing headers to a cxf client call:

JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = ...;
factory.getFeatures().add(new WSAddressingFeature());

But I don't understand exactly how I could add wsa reference parameters so that the soap header of the message looks like this:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org
/2005/08 /addressing" xmlns:ns1=... >
<soap:Header>
  <wsa:To>...</wsa:To>
  <wsa:Action>...</wsa:Action>
  <wsa:MessageID>...</wsa:MessageID>
  <ns1:Country wsa:IsReferenceParameter="true">xx</ns1:Country>
  <ns1:Brand wsa:IsReferenceParameter="true">x</ns1:Brand>
</soap:Header> ...

How can I add this headers within a cxf client call?

This could be done with help of AddressingProperties.

factory.setServiceClass(...);
factory.setAddress(...);
factory.getFeatures().add(new WSAddressingFeature());
SomePortType client = (SomePortType) factory.create();
AddressingProperties maps = new AddressingPropertiesImpl();
EndpointReferenceType epr = new EndpointReferenceType();

//Then you can add referenceParameters to the epr
ReferenceParametersType ref = new ReferenceParametersType();
List<Object> paras = ref.getAny();
Country ctry = new Country("xx");

JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[] {Country.class });
Marshaller marshaller = ctx.createMarshaller();
DOMResult res = new DOMResult();
marshaller.marshal(ctry, res);
Element elt = ((Document) res.getNode()).getDocumentElement();
any.add(elt);

epr.setReferenceParameters(ref);
maps.setTo(epr);

((BindingProvider)client).getRequestContext()
    .put(JAXWSAConstants.CLIENT_ADDRESSING_PROPERTIES, maps);

Reference: cxf doc about ws-addr (I cannot post more links, sigh..) and http://cxf.547215.n5.nabble.com/setting-reference-parameters-in-WS-Addressing-header-td3257262.html
I'm not familiar with JAXB, and I think their could be better way to add parameters to ref.
