Hi Dan, My first reaction was that you're right - but then I realized there actually is a simpler (but unintuitive) way. You can use a pre-set method to basically hook into the unmarshalling of the element, and in that method process the attributes. You can also use a pre-get method to do the reverse on the output side. The pre-set method will be called while the unmarshaller is positioned on the start tag of the element (assuming there *is* an element associated with the object), and the pre-get method will be called while the writer is positioned on the start tag of the element (likewise).
The only hitch is that I'm not officially guaranteeing this behavior as of now - but I use it in the code I'm writing, including the new version of the JiBX tools. - Dennis Dennis M.
