You can also do tricks at runtime to select between several possible bindings, as described at http://jibx.sourceforge.net/tutorial/binding-custom.html#frontend , but that's really only needed in cases where you have several versions of the same documents (as in versioned schemas).

I don't think JiBX's functionality extends to finding out what the root element is. This kind of thing is already handled well by apis such as SAX, DOM, or XMLPull. JiBX is a marshaller/unmarshaller and its really fast and great at what it does. But if you want to find out the root element of an object, you have a vast, huge, extensive number of ways to do it using XML APIs, and after that use JiBX to (un)marshal.

I notice from the usage documentation on the jibx site that in order to unmarshall a xml document into a object, I need to know in advance what the type of the object is:
IBindingFactory bfact = BindingDirectory.getFactory(Customer.class); IUnmarshallingContext uctx = bfact.createUnmarshallingContext(); Object obj = uctx.unmarshalDocument( new FileInputStream("filename.xml"), null);
What if I don't know that "filename.xml" is actually holding a Customer object? Is there a way to make jibx look in the mapping automatically to find which object the root element of "filename.xml" is refering to?
Thanks
