It can't cope with the following. Is this an Array of ArrayLists? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <ArrayOfOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://aaa.com/"> <Order> <OrderNo>505913</OrderNo> <Carrier>WC</Carrier> <Rush>false</Rush> <Pack>true</Pack> </Order> <Order> <OrderNo>505983</OrderNo> <Carrier>PIT</Carrier> <Rush>false</Rush> <Pack>true</Pack> </Order> <Order> <OrderNo>506017</OrderNo> <Carrier>NEP</Carrier> <Rush>false</Rush> <Pack>true</Pack> </Order> </ArrayOfOrder> If it is, is there a way around it?

No, and I have certainly coded similar serialisations. For example I have a user class that contains an ArrayList of Address objects. You just need to use the correct attributes on the members.
