You've got a couple of problems with this variation. The first is that when unmarshalling JiBX will reuse an existing object when possible - so whenever it sees an <address> element it'll call the getAddress method and just write over the existing values in the object returned. The second is that if you use this binding for marshalling you'll only get one Address written out.
Are you only unmarshalling, and not marshalling? If so, you could use a variation of this approach to handle your collection. Just define your binding as direction='input', then you don't need to provide get methods and JiBX will create a new instance of the Address class each time it sees one of the elements, which is what you want. - Dennis Dennis M.
