For me this seams to be the simplest solution or do I miss anything? Thank you for your valuable suggestion. That would indeed be the quickest (atleast that comes to mind) solution. But, in the long run we would rather have the whole process be transparent and not having to create extra custom code. Besides the Unmarshaller should be able to deal with such things to produce a *complete* Object/s from the XML. I did have something in mind with the custom field handlers that Keith Visco replied with in regards to this question.
