Alright, I'll hang in there :-)

Which seems strange. This seems like such an obvious use of CastorXML
with EJB's.

I have a BMP EntityBean, which has fields that are references to other
BMP EntityBeans, i.e. their interfaces are the type of the fields (not
the implementation classes, which seems to be how Castor is mostly
used). Since these references cannot be resolved by simply instantiating
those interfaces (ya can't instantiate interfaces) I need Castor to
delegate to my own code which knows how to transform the stringified
references into real objects. This goes both for 1-1 and 1-many
mappings. If I got that it would be really awesome.
Another thing I'd like is to be able to give Castor the object to be
filled with values. Currently it instantiates a new BMP instance and
filles that with data, which I then must copy into the real instance.
