Rania, There have been quite a few changes to the serialization framework.
The multi-referencing support is done in the DeserializerImpl and DeserializationContext, and should work without intervention. Why do you need you need the name of the element in these cases ? (Please contact me offline at ibm if you need to.)

The problem I am having is that when the element first enters my deserializer with OnStartElement its name is already lost and I need it. >From what I can gather so far, multirefing is broken for quite a few cases (ref my note Jan, 8, 2002). If I can get at least the name though, I am able to hack around it. I need this asap though and couldn't find it :( Please help PS: I am using Axis ver. 3.0 (need to use a versioned release) Rania
