Dave-
In Castor such a process is fairly easy. Using a mapping file, you can
specify that the <name1> and <name2> elements reside inside <bar> using
the location attribute. Here's an example:
<mapping>
<class name="Foo">
<map-to xml="foo" />
<field name="name1" type="string" />
<bind-xml name="name1" location="bar" />
</field>
<field name="name2" type="string" />
<bind-xml name="name2" location="bar" />
</field>
</class>
</mapping>
I only ask that you realize I just wrote that into an e-mail and haven't
tested it, so there may be some bugs, but that is the general idea. Let
me know if you have any questions.

I am trying to map some xml like:
<foo>
<bar>
<name1>val1</name1>
<name2>val2</name2>
<bar>
<foo>
I would like to have a single object to hold all of this, something
like:
public class Foo {
private String name1;
private String name2;
....
//of course appropriate getters and setters
}
So I basically want to remove the bar when unmarshalling and flatten the
xml hierarchy.
Of course, *IF* I had control of the input xml I could just respecify,
unfortunately I do
not have that control.
So what is the special mapping incantation to make this happen? Or do I
need to write some
customer handler to make this happen (hoping not since I have never done
this before).
