You should be using "Student.Course" for the name attribute. And it wont work if it's private anyway.

Corro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 19 December 2001 11:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [castor-dev] Mapping Inner Classes I've searched around on the Castor mail archive regarding mapping inner classes and the only resolution I could find was from someone who altered the source code to accept '$' signs (don't recall the exact steps) as delimiters identifying inner classes. I was hoping that there was someone who could shed some light on an alternate way to map inner classes w/o changing the source code. If inner classes can be used w/o altering source code, do the inner classes need to be public? When I try running code along the same lines as the following example, I always get a MappingException saying the compiler can't find the inner class. Following is an example of what I'm trying to do... Thanks in advance for any help. public class Student { private class Course { public String courseID public String courseName } private String name = "John Doe"; private ArrayList courseList = new ArrayList(); public Student() { Course course = new Course(); course.courseID = "1"; course.courseName = "Gym"; courseList.add(course); course = new Course(); course.courseID = "2"; course.courseName = "Chemistry"; } public String getName.... public ArrayList getCourseList... } <mapping> <class name="Student"> <map-to xml="root"/> <field name="Name" type="java.lang.String"> <bind-xml name="Name" node="element"/> </field> <field name="CourseList" type="collection"> <bind-xml name="Course"/> </field> </class> <class name="Course"> <field name="CourseID" type="java.lang.String"> <bind-xml name="CourseID" node="element"/> </field> <field name="CourseName" type="java.lang.String"> <bind-xml name="CourseName" node="element"/> </field> </class> </map> ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev
