If you're using multiple bindings for unmarshalling you first need to determine the appropriate binding to be used for a particular document. There are ways of doing this at runtime based on the actual content (such as an attribute of the root element - see http://jibx.sourceforge.net/tutorial/binding-custom.html#frontend for code to do this).
If you just want to allow different root elements for a document, that's a simpler case - you just include <mapping> definitions for all the possible root elements in a single binding, then JiBX uses whichever one is appropriate for the actual root element of the supplied document. You only need to call the getFactory method when you're looking up a particular binding. If there's only one binding you can just use the returned IBindingFactory over and over; if there are multiple bindings, you can either look up the binding factory for a binding each time you use it, or just cache the factory for each binding you're using. - Dennis Dennis M.
