Hi Keith,
That works great. This solves most of my problems :)
Also I was wondering if my fix to handle the "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class" while marshalling an array of containers which has a container would make it to the 0.9.5.3 RC1. The fix was to add an "else if clause" to handle the Enumeration, very similar to the array handling.
If it is not, could you please let me know when.
Thanks
Balaji

Balaji,
You're in luck! :-)
There is a new feature in the 0.9.5.3 RC1 that allows you to nest a class mapping, so you can change the mapping for the company field:
<field name="company" type="ClientData">
<bind-xml node="element">
<!-- custom mapping for ClientData -->
<class name="ClientData">
<field name="name" type="string">
<bind-xml name="CompanyName"/>
</field>
...
</class>
</bind-xml>
</field>
