Hi,

This is not possible. Classes in XWiki can have fields only of
predefined, simple data types. Usually, the strategy to do what you want
is like this:

1. Create the Address class, also adding an "address type" field.
2. In a document, use one Contact object and several Address objects.

This way you gain even more flexibility. You can either use one Address
object with "type" = "personal" and one with "type" = "work" (or
whatever values you like), or you can accept any number of objects, and
the user can select what type of address he wants, and a button "add
address" allows him to add a new Address object.
