Tammy, I ran into the exact same issue. The way I worked around it is to use a custom marshaller for the object.
JiBX is meant to be used for one Object to one Element mappings, and technically if you are trying to deviate from that then you should be using another marshalling framework. That being said, if almost all of your objects have a one-to-one mapping with an element name (except for a few), then a custom marshaller would make sense.

For example, I have an object called QueryComparisonSet that can produce elements with values like "and","or", or "not". The element name is actually stored in a field in the object. It doesn't look like there is a way to assign an element name from a field. I am assuming I need to write a custom serializer for this. I am very new to jibx so can you give me some idea of what the custom serializer might look like in this case. Thanks, Tammy -- Tammy Dugan Computer Programmer Regenstrief Institute, Inc.
