Hi Werner, I found a solution. If I use the 'matches' attribute in combination with the 'location' attribute. The docs are a bit misleading though:
http://www.castor.org/xml-mapping.html#The-%3Cbind-xml%3E-element They say that the matches attribute is a standard regular expression, but I found this not to be the case. I had to use a space seperated list of the elements and then it would work. My mapping file now looks like this: <field name="devicesUnchanged" type="string" collection="array" > <bind-xml matches="IpAddress MacAddress" location="DevicesUnchanged" node="element" /> </field> This results in all the elements inside the DevicesUnchanged tag to be unmarshalled into my String[].

Or are you trying to manually map this structure ?
