Hi Jon, Just to clarify, the normal way of using JiBX would be to have a single binding which includes <mapping> definitions for all the classes you're going to be marshalling/unmarshalling as root objects.
If you really need to use a separate binding for each class you can make that work, too, but it'll be more work to keep track of the various bindings (which seemed to be what you were asking in your original email). Is there a reason you want to do it this way? - Dennis Dennis M.
