Thanks Keith, I got it working as you explained. I had to set org.exolab.castor.builder.javaclassmapping=type so SourceGenerator would not try to generate the class I refer to in the extra schema.
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question but just to verify I'm asking. Is there a way to specify an element that will be represented as a property on the resulting bean to not have (one of) a setter or getter? (I know this probably would break marshalling/unmarshalling) rich -----Original Message----- From: Keith Visco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 2:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [castor-dev] Source Generator Hi Richard, Your extra schema needs to declare the namespace as such: <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; targetNamespace="http://www.xyz.com/castor/schemas/test";> <complexType name="classname"> <sequence/> </complexType> </xsd:schema> --Keith "Davis, Richard" wrote: > > Keith, > > I like this idea of importing the schema for my own data type into the > source schema.
