Binding options for maps are not as sophisticated. Which is why this bug is not possible for maps :P I mean: - there is no support for multiple different names for key and value elements/attributes - the Java types for the key and value are determined by the Map type arguments or key and value properties in the entry class. Which is a very weak support. So, you can open Jira issues to enhance support in this area. If you do, please, specify how critical this is. So I can prioritize. Thanks.
