Take a look at MDSAX and Coins on the JXML.com site - www.jxml.com.  
It sounds like it's pretty much exactly what you're looking for.  
You specify the mapping from elements to classes in a ContextML 
document, itself XML, and it builds a processing structure into 
which you can feed your documents to build your classes.  

The best part is that MDSAX/Coins handles all the weird work for you, 
including reflection.  You can even feed documents with different 
vocabularies into the same structure by specifying a different ContextML
document. With MDSAX it's just document->Beans, while with Coins you 
can go back from Beans->document.
