The custom marshaller/unmarshaller documented at http://jibx.sourceforge.net/tutorial/binding-custom.html#marunmar handles String keys with arbitrary object values (which must have their own <mapping> definitions). Changing this sample code (included in the /build/extras tree) to work with String values is simple. It sounds like that will give you exactly what you need.

Is there any way to take this structure...
<ItemDetail> <!-- some other elements here -->
<Extrinsic name="ExtName1">Ext text 1</Extrinsic> <Extrinsic name="ExtName2">Ext text 2</Extrinsic> <Extrinsic name="ExtName3">Ext text 3</Extrinsic> </ItemDetail>
and map it into a structure like this...
public class ItemDetail { // properties for other elements in ItemDetail private Map extrinsics = new HashMap();
public void setExtrinsics(String key, String value) {
extrinsics.put(key,value); }
public String getExtrinsics(String key) { (String)extrinsics.get(key);
} }
It seems that this could be done with <collection> if it supported maps but it doesn't. Writing a custom Marshaler/UnMarshaller isn't really an option because the ItemDetail element contains many other nested elements that I don't want to have to deal with.
