I've resolved this problem. The key is that this can't be done with a
bindings file, it has to be done with a JAXB plugin. Fortunately,
someone has already done this:

I've tested this with my application, and it appears to work fine.

> <services>
> <service>...</service>
> <service>...</service>

> Java:

> public List<Service> getServices() { ... }
> public void setServices(List<Service> services) { ... }
