Hi,

I've got an xml document like this:

<xml version="1.0 encoding="UTF-8">
<employees id="1" room="123">

<employee>
    <firstname>Peter</firstname>
    <lastname>Meyer</lastname>
</employee>
<employee>
    <firstname>Betty</firstname>
    <lastname>Boo</lastname>
</employee>

</employees>

How can that be mapped to jaxb annotations?
I've tried all sorts of things, like:

@XmlRootElement(name = "employees")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Employees {

    @XmlAttribute(name = "id")
    private String id;

    @XmlAttribute(name = "room")
    private String room;

    @XmlElement(name = "employee")
    @XmlElementWrapper(name = "employees")
    private Employee[] employees;
[...]

However, this doesn't work. There is a problem with the employees
Element.
On Google I found various examples of the type:

<company>
<employees id="1" room="123">

<employee>
    <firstname>Peter</firstname>
    <lastname>Meyer</lastname>
</employee>
<employee>
    <firstname>Betty</firstname>
    <lastname>Boo</lastname>
</employee>
<employees>

</company>

This works easily - however when the document
root element is also at the same time a list,
I can't get it to work.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Stefanie
