And the xml that I woule be unmarshalling would be something like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <executive> <jobTitle>SE</jobTitle> <referenceList> <refAddress> <individualID>0</individualID> <address> <stateID>2</stateID> <countryID>4</countryID> </address> <addressID>0</addressID> </refAddress> <refAddress> <individualID>0</individualID> <address> <stateID>0</stateID> <countryID>0</countryID> </address> <addressID>0</addressID> </refAddress> <refEmail> <individualID>0</individualID> <email> <emailAddress>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</emailAddress> <activeEmailFlag>true</activeEmailFlag> </email> </refEmail> </referenceList> </executive> And I have defined the mapping as below. <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE mapping PUBLIC "-//EXOLAB/Castor Mapping DTD Version 1.0//EN" "http://castor.org/mapping.dtd";> <mapping> <class name="com.busdb.domain.Executive"> <map-to xml="executive"/> <field name="jobTitle" type="java.lang.String"/> <field name="propertyList" type="com.busdb.domain.Reference" collection="arraylist" container="false" > <bind-xml name="propertyList"/> </field> </class> <class name="com.busdb.domain.Reference"> <field name="individualID" type="java.lang.Long"/> </class> <class name="com.busdb.domain.RefAddress " extends="com.busdb.domain.Reference" > <map-to xml="RefAddress"/> <field name="address" type="com.busdb.domain.Address"/> </class> <class name="com.busdb.domain.Address" > <map-to xml="address"/> <field name="addressLine1" type="java.lang.String"> <bind-xml name="addressLine1"/> </field> <field name="postalCode" type="java.lang.String"/> </class> <class name="com.busdb.domain.RefEmail" extends="com.busdb.domain.Reference"> <map-to xml="refEmail"/> <field name="email" type="com.busdb.domain.Email"> </field> </class> <class name="com.infousa.busdb.domain.Email" > <map-to xml="email"/> <field name="emailAddress" type="java.lang.String"> <bind-xml name="emailAddress"/> </field> </class> </mapping> I tried to unmarshal the above xml , and mapping to an "executive" object. And surprisingly the first element of the arraylist of the object generated has the XML tags in it something like below. [<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <refAddress> <individualID>0</individualID> <address> <stateID>2</stateID> <countryID>4</countryID> </address> <addressID>0</addressID> </refAddress>,<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <refAddress> <individualID>0</individualID> <address> <stateID>0</stateID> <countryID>0</countryID> </address> <addressID>0</addressID> </refAddress>,<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <refEmail> <individualID>0</individualID> <email> <emailAddress>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</emailAddress> <activeEmailFlag>true</activeEmailFlag> </email> </refEmail>] How Do I get the refarraylist to be populated with different subclasses of type reference?
