If you're just unmarshalling you should be able to use a regular mapping
even for system classes. Marshalling instances back out as the root
object wouldn't work, though.
One easy way around this is to just use a trivial extension of the
ArrayList class:
public class MyArrayList extends ArrayList {}
Then you can create the <mapping> for MyArrayList, and the original code:
Object obj = uctx.unmarshalDocument
(new FileInputStream("orders.xml"), null);
ArrayList ords = (ArrayList) obj;
will work directly (of course, the object returned will actually be an
instance of MyArrayList - but it'll be usable as ArrayList).

I don't think you can bind the root element of your document to a base
java type, for one thing it would mean bytecode enhancing a class that
is sitting in rt.jar, which even if it were possible it would probably
be a bad idea. But it's easy enough to use a wrapper type of your own
making to hold the ArrayList. Then you would be doing this:
ArrayList ords = ((OrdersWrapper)obj).getOrders();

*Subject:* [jibx-users] Getting an ArrayList back
I have a order.xml file full of orders:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<orders>
<order>
<order_number>v001</order_number>
<id>1</id>
<order_date>2000-03-21T01:33:00</order_date>
</order>
<order>
<order_number>v001</order_number>
<id>1</id>
<order_date>2000-03-21T01:33:00</order_date>
</order>
</orders>
And I want to bind it so that in the end I have a ArrayList of all
the orders.
This is what I want to do:
Object obj = uctx.unmarshalDocument
(new FileInputStream("orders.xml"), null);
ArrayList ords = (ArrayList) obj;
