Hi Anne and Alex, OK, I am aware that it looks like "killing a bug with a canon" :-) But the point is: I need multi-reference support, because my object tree includes objects that may be referenced more than once and I do not want multiple instances in my final xml file. I already had a look at JAXB and Castor (www.castor.org). Both of them did not mention multi-refs in their documentation. With Castor I even implemented a sample and saw that it makes duplicates :-( The only guides that mention multi-ref support are Axis, Soap and JAX-RPC.
Alex, I followed your hint about "ksoap" and found "ksoap.enhydra.org". It even mentions multi-refs :-) I think I will have a closer look at that. If you have a short sample code for me about (de)serailization, I would appreciate that.
