You don't need to do that. The element is already typed. I suspect you're
tripping up the code by having it look up the code to use by xsi:type.

I'm receive the xml message from a different system and just want to unmarshall it

Seems
like that might be a bug in the code, though.

My or others?

Well, yes. "type" would be illegal. A validating parser would tell you that,
but if you don't validate you're just stuffing a bogus attribute in there
and it gets ignored.
