Hi Gary,
you're right, Castor doesn't preserve the order of text nodes used as mixed
content.
This is not a requirement for a data-binding framework, it can be seen more
as a nice
feature.
As Keith pointed some days ago, you can whether change your XML and add some
wrapper tags around
your text or if you don't want to change your XML, you can always use an
XSLT
stylesheet to transform your XML before trying to unmarshal it.
Hope this helps,
Arnaud
