Stephan is right. Jibx does ignore attributes. Jibx rocks!!!
If the mapping is modified to
<binding>
<mapping name="XYZ" class="Yxz">
<structure name="IDENT" field="ident" flexible="true"
ordered="false">
<value name="DATEINAME" field="dateiname" />
<value name="VERSION-TYP" field="versionTyp" />
</structure>
</mapping>
</binding>
the other attributes are ignored.
But when you marshall the object only the tags that jibx knows about
will be available. So the xml is different after a round trip.
