Thanks Dennis for sharing that. ADB is what I am using.

JiBX supports polymorphism using the equivalent of schema substitution groups (where different element names are used to distinguish between the different types of derived structures). I believe XMLBeans has very good support for polymorphism using type substitution (where the element name is always the same, but the actual type is given in the instance document using an xsi:type="..." attribute of the element), though it has a more difficult time with substitution groups. I don't know what form of support ADB provides for polymorphism. - Dennis Dennis M.
