Yes, xsd:choice - I meant union in the C sense.

I have also run into trouble with Lists, because an Xml list element can have a union type, but this becomes List<Object> in Java. The field for this list will be named <type1>Or<Type2>Or…Or<TypeN>. I could break the string apart by splitting on “Or,” but that would quickly fall apart if anyone put “Or” in a field (I don’t know if xic will break this out).
