Hi List, In my Java object model, I have several objects (com.ge.tree.Oak, com.ge.tree.Maple, com.ge.tree.Walnut, for example) that all use a similar class com.ge.Wood for a field (lets call it woodType for this example). When marshalling my XML out for this model, I would like to change the name of the element that corresponds to the woodType field depending on which subclass of com.ge.Wood the certain com.ge.tree class uses. In code: class Oak implements com.ge.Tree { private Wood woodType = new OakWood(); } class Maple implements com.ge.Tree { private Wood woodType = new MapleWood(); } class Walnut implements com.ge.Tree { private Wood woodType = new WalnutWood(); } In XML: <oak> <oakWoodType specificGravity="142.2" /> </oak> <maple> <mapleWoodType specificGravity="3.4"/> </maple> <walnut> <walnutWood specificGravity="123.4" /> </walnut> At this point, my binding.xml file looks like this: <mapping class="com.ge.Tree" abstract="true" marshaller="com.ge.CustomTreeMarshaller"> <structure /> </mapping> But it doesn't work. Do you folks have any ideas or pointers? Thanks! Ian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
