Hi S L, You do need a factory here, as JiBX asks for. Look at it from the JiBX point of view: you have an XML file and want to bind to an object of an abstract type. Hoe can you do that if you cannot instantiate an abstract class? This is why JiBX asks for a factory to create a new object of the desired type, so it can call the setters on that object. How the factory creates the object is up to you, as long as it's a subclass of the requested abstract class. You say that you already do set objects that are subclasses of the 'ForwardLinkProfileData' class. So make a factory that returns an object of a subtype, so JiBX can use that. See http://jibx.sourceforge.net/details/binding-attributes.html#object for details, good luck.
