Yeah, I supposed the alternative would be something like this: <parent> <child className="mypackage.childClass" attribute1="value1" attribute2="value2"/> <child className="mypackage.childClass" attribute1="value3" attribute2="value4"/> </parent> Then i could use the className attribute of the current object on the stack to create each child object. I would still have to create my own ObjectCreationFactory, though, to use the attribute className as the name of the class to use when instantiating the object, right? I didn't see a Digester.addObjectCreate() method that would work.
