Hi Alberto, If you want to distinguish between these different instances of the UnidadeMedida date you need to use different element names - otherwise there's no way for JiBX to tell which instance is meant to go where. You could do this by changing the <mapping> definition for the UnidadeMedida data structure to an abstract mapping, and then using an element name on each of the <structure> references.
If you want to keep the element name the same, the other alternative is to change the order of these instances in the XML - make all the required ones first, and put the optional instance last. That way they'll be populated correctly. While you're at it, you probably also want to remove the usage="optional" on all the required instances. Hope this helps, - Dennis Dennis M.
