Hi Jay, So he wants part of the information from the <sponsor> structure copied into the object he's creating for the <patient> structure. I can't think of any way to do this directly, but you can use JiBX extension methods (http://jibx.sourceforge.net/tutorial/binding-extend.html#extmeths) to add in special behavior. In this case, he could perhaps use a pre-set method on the Patient object to get the Sponsor and copy the information across. This assumes that whatever object acts as a container for both Sponsor and Patient provides a way to get at the Sponsor.
Hope that helps, - Dennis Dennis M.
