Ahh ok...well I guess even I don't know it all! ;-) I just looked at
org.exolab.castor.mapping.loader.Types.java, apparently Assaf added it
as a convenient way for declaring a String[]. It's been available since
the first initial version, but I guess it doesn't work properly. I'll
need to look into it more and find out what the issue is with it...or
have it removed.
In any case...I recommend sticking with "string" and collection="array".
Thanks,
