I totally agree with you. We do need a way to say what class loader to use. I was checking with you whether I had missed something. I'll raise a JIRA along with the other JIRA I still need to do when I get a chance!!

There's definitely a setClassLoader() method on the Unmarshaller class, but I am not sure that this is exposed in any way. Thinking about this, one could (and should) introduce a setClassLoader() method on XMLContext to allow customization of class loaders.
