Ah, so that's the difference. It's true that the JiBX handling using choice="true" is not completely equivalent to the schema <choice> particle, for either marshalling or unmarshalling. It looks like I could probably handle the no matching value present case in the code generation without too much trouble, so if you want to enter an enhancement request Jira for this purpose I'll see about adding it in for an upcoming release. But 100% schema compatibility is definitely not a goal for JiBX 1.X, and even for JiBX 2.0 I'm planning for better schema compatibility rather than 100%. > ... > It's good to see you back posting here.

But I do get busy with support for my clients, and with new code, and when I do my attention to the mailing lists gets dropped. I've very glad to see the people on the list picking up the slack when this happens! - Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
