Hi Kristof,
Even I am nee to castor, but can suggest a few things the way I handle
collections.
(1) Specify the collection type in the mapping file
e.g. collection="vector"
(2) Specify the type of object the collection will contain.
e.g. type="MyObject"
(3) Normally, I also have the mapping defined for the class MyObject.
Hope this helps.
