Hello, Thanks but I know how to marshall an ArrayList.
My problem is that my ArrayList contains references. (So during unmarshalling they will never to be instantiated but just some references to be set.) It is like: 1. you have a Pool of objects 2. you have a list of SelectedObjects (and here you hold only references to the other list's elements) But without a mapping file the unmarshalling produces new instances in the SelectedObjects list (with the same atribute values of course) not references. rgds, Peter > ---------- > Von: Neil Blue[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Antwort an: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 21.
