[Simple-support] jaxb's xmlseealso equivalent

[Shyam S. <sh...@ou...>]

Hi,
I am consuming a web service which uses jaxb for serializing the response java objects into xml. So, I get a response like this :

<things xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:type="thing">
    <val>185</val>
</things>
<things xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:type="anotherThing">
    <anotherVal>162</anotherVal>
</things>The server code uses jaxb's @xmlseealso for dynamic mapping of generic list objects. My question is how am I to unmarshall this response using Simple annotations. Is there an xmlseealso equivalent in Simple. If not, what is the solution ? Should I be using an attribute 'type' for every generic collection ?
