Just create a simple Patients class that holds your collection of Patient objects that you can use during Marshalling/Unmarshalling: Something like: Patients { private <CollectionType> _patients = null; //-- Default constructor needed for unmarshalling public Patients() { _patients = new <CollectionType> } //-- Patients public void addPatient(Patient p) { _patients.add<...>(p); } public Enumeration getPatients() { return _patients.<...>; } //-- getPatients /// ... any other methods you may want ... } //-- class: Patients It's lightweight and can simply be discarded after you finish unmarshalling. --Keith ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev
