That's a tricky case, Bret. As you've found, the custom unmarshaller handling expects to be coupled to a particular object. Since you want to take the collection of items from the XML and split it into three separate collections (sorted by type) in the object, you can't just use an unmarshaller for the collection itself.
I guess the other alternative would be to use a custom unmarshaller for the actual <OBJ> element, with that unmarshaller returning the appropriate type of object. Then you could use an add-method on the parent object, which could check the type of object being added and put it on the appropriate list. That's definitely getting into some messy handling, though. - Dennis Dennis M.
