Unfortunately, your suggestions did not work. Infact, Jibx does not seem to need the name or map-as because the mapping from the field name to the type is done using the java source. Infact, looking through the "binding.xml" file, there are relatively few "name" tags at all, and most seem to be infered automatically.
I found, however, another interesting behaviour. When I put the "Cred" tag before the "Data" tag (i.e. next to the "CmdID") tag, the data is read in properly, like this: <Alert><CmdID>2</CmdID><Cred/><Data>201</Data></Alert> When I put the "Cred" tag _after_ "Data", the XML fails to read: <Alert><CmdID>2</CmdID><Data>201</Data><Cred/></Alert> Looking at the "binding.xml" file, we see this: 88 <mapping class="com.funambol.framework.core.AbstractCommand" abstract="true" ordered="false"> 89 <structure name="CmdID" field="cmdID" usage="optional"> 90 <value field="cmdID" style="text"/> 91 </structure> 92 <value name="NoResp" field="noResp" format="formatBoolean" usage="optional"/> 93 <structure field="credential" usage="optional"/> 94 </mapping> ... 102 <mapping name="Alert" class="com.funambol.framework.core.Alert" extends="com.funambol.framework.core.AbstractCommand" ordered="false"> 103 <structure map-as="com.funambol.framework.core.AbstractCommand" usage="optional"/> 104 <value name="Data" field="data" usage="optional"/> 105 <value name="Correlator" field="correlator" usage="optional"/> 106 <collection field="items" item-type="com.funambol.framework.core.Item" usage="optional"/> 107 </mapping> It seems that although for both classes "ordered=false" is set, Jibx first wants to read all tags within the base class AbstractCommand (namely "CmdID" and "Cred", then goes on to read the Alert class' tags (namely "Data"). If we put the "Data" between the "CmdID" and "Cred" it is confused and throws the error. Is this the expected behaviour of Jibx? Is there a workaround (other than giving up the hierarchical classes)?
