Thanks Cezar. I think this could be perfect for me.
I have a problem, though. I get a [xmlbean] error: Colliding methods when I try to use this to accomplish what I want. I have a heirarchy of XmlObjects A extends B extends C. I want all three objects to have a method do(), but I want to do it polymorphically. In other words, C.do() really invokes A.do()'s handler if the real object behind the C reference is an A object. If I define a different handler for each of A, B and C that all implement the same interface, then I get the colloding error. Any idea how I can accomplish a polymorphic extension? I really do appreciate how you've taken time out to help.
