Parsing XML with object reference creation

I'm parsing xml file and trying to create model from it. I'm using Simple XML library. My xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root cycles_count="2">
  <shifts>
    <shift id="0" name="first"/>
    <shift id="1" name="second"/>
    <shift id="2" name="third"/>
    <shift id="3" name="fourth"/>
  </shifts>
  <cycles>
    <cycle name="A" start_date="1334620800000">
        <cycle_shift id="0" />
        <cycle_shift id="0" />
        <cycle_shift id="1" />
    </cycle>

    <cycle name="B" start_date="1334620800000">
        <cycle_shift id="1" />
        <cycle_shift id="1" />
        <cycle_shift id="2" />
    </cycle>
  </cycles>
</root>

Is there any way how to create object reference from cycle_shift to shift based on the same id? I want to achieve something like this (simplified version):

@Root
public class Shift {

  @Attribute
  int id;

  @Attribute
  String name;
}

@Root
public class Cycle {

  @ElementList
  List<Shift> shifts; // shifts connected by id's
}

Change of xml schema is possible too. Thanks in advance.
