[Simple-support] deserializing a list of subclasses

[Carl H. S. <ch...@da...>]

Is it possible to specify how elements map to classes in the code, 
rather than in the xml using the class attribute? Here's an example of 
what I mean:

Suppose I have classes as follows:

package a.b.c.d;
class Component {}
class TextField extends Component {}
class TextArea extends Component {}
class Choice extends Component {}

Using Simple, I can deserialize the following XML easily:

<ComponentList>
    <Component class="a.b.c.d.TextField" />
    <Component class="a.b.c.d.TextArea" />
    <Component class="a.b.c.d.Choice" />
</ComponentList>

I would like to be able to use the following instead:

<ComponentList>
    <TextField" />
    <TextArea" />
    <Choice" />
</ComponentList>

and specify how TextField maps to an  a.b.c.d.TextField in the java 
code. (Perhaps using some kind of Strategy?)

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Carl
