In a previous post I introduced EclipseLink JAXB (MOXy)'s @XmlVariableNode extension. In this post I'll demonstrate how @XmlVariableNode could be leveraged to handle an interesting question I came across on Stack Overflow. In that question instead of a collection being represented with an element that appeared multiple times, the element name contained the index. While I would never recommend structuring your XML document this way sometimes you encounter it and need to be able to map it.
