Yes, I've tried that, but it doesn't work: The unmarshaller complains that there isn't a get/set for it on the IPMISensors class. Moving the field definition into the IPMIPowerSupplySensor class doesn't work right either; I don't want to set the attribute on every instance, just on the container.
In short, I'd like to create a subclass of ArrayList (or some other collection type) on which I can set that property, without having to resort to creating an artificial container-of-container class. Think of it as a decorator, I guess.
