[castor-dev] Mapping an class that has a abstract superclass

[Miller, Scott]

Mapping files looks like(fields have been omitted)

 

<class name="A">
</class>

<class name="B" extends="A">
</class>

Where class A is abstract.

When I tried to unmarshall class B I get

org.exolab.castor.mapping.MappingException: Nested error:
org.exolab.castor.mapping.MappingException: The Java class A is not
constructable -- it does not contain a default public constructor

however class A does have a default constructor.  Does this mean I cannot
use an abstract classes with Castor.

Is there any support for iterators. I don't see anything so I am guessing
there is none.

This is with the latest build of castor(11/20).

Thanks,
Scott
