Hi!

After some time I've decided (for many reasons) to migrate my project
from Castor XML to Castor JDO. The projects uses kind of plugin system
where plugins are .jar files that contain needed .class files and also
apropriate mapping files (as the project uses derived types - that's why
I need 0.8.11 now). In XML version I have created special class loader
that allowed loading from those .jar files. Also I created instance of
Mapping object and loaded basic mapping file (always present in the
system) and afterwards I loaded all the mapping files from .jars (as
loading is additional).

Now I want to do similar thing in JDO. The problem is I couldn't find
any method for specifying the Mapping instance that should be used with
JDO or Database objects. Even more it seems to me that mapping file(s)
have to be specified in the database configuration xml (database.xml
usually) and that is undesirable in my case. Do you have any
suggestions? Or have I missed something? Any help is realy appriciated.

My other question goes to 0.8.11 version of castor and the code
available in CVS or at the web site. As I read through mailing list many
problems have been discovered since 0.8.11 release. Is there any source
for updated 0.8.11 sources that would include bugfixes to those
problems? This would be highly needed as 0.8.11 is the only version
supporting polymorphism in JDO (or at least as far as I know). Or is
there any individual that constantly updates the sources with latest
bugfixes? If so, please let me know.

The question about schedule on putting back polymorpism support into
current version has been asked many times. Any change there? Or is it
still on the list without any date?

Thank you very much. Keep the fine work you do.
