Thanks Sergey! The suggestions to use dropCollectionWrapperElement and
dropRootElement
worked. I apologize if the tone in my email sounded confrontational; it was
not meant to be. I LOVE the tool. I was however struggling to find
a catalog of all the common parameters used to "tweek" the marshalling
implementation; it would be nice if they were listed somewhere. I would
love to see this in the cxf documentation somewhere  (if i overlooked this
can you please send me the link).

Again, I am very grateful for you work and your prompt response.

-Mike
