Thanks, Knut, these are very helpful hints. I cannot, however get the classMap option working, I defined the classes and the map and still get but stdClass objects. Is there a place with elaborate examples on this or some debugging facility? For example I don't know how the classes must be defined: containing their complex subelements as vars or not.
