Actually, even with maxOccurs='unbounded', if the type is xsd:string it works if you expect an empty string. public void testCollectionOverrideProperty() throws Exception | { | SchemaBinding schema = XsdBinder.bind(new StringReader(XSD), null); | | schema.setIgnoreUnresolvedFieldOrClass(false); | | ClassMetaData classMetaData = new ClassMetaData(); | classMetaData.setImpl(Top.class.getName()); | ElementBinding element = schema.getElement(new QName(NS, "top")); | assertNotNull(element); | element.setClassMetaData(classMetaData); | | Top top = (Top) unmarshal("IgnorableWhitespaceContent.xml", schema, Top.class); | assertNotNull(top.string); | assertEquals(1, top.string.size()); | assertEquals("", top.string.get(0)); | } View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4052483#...
