Hi Jean-Philippe, Not obvious, but a quirk of the code generation used with JiBX. The handling for collections is unfortunately messy, and in this case trying to use style="text" just takes the code generation down a wrong path.
The only way I know to do what you want is by writing a custom marshaller/unmarshaller which handles the format you want. You should then be able to reference the marshaller and unmarshaller directly on the child <structure> element within the <collection> - Dennis Dennis M.
