Keith - The output from SourceGenerator says that it cannot find the type for PRICE:
-- Suppressing non fatal warnings. Warning : do not forget to generate the source for the schema with this targetNamespace: pub3 Warning : do not forget to generate the source for the schema with this targetNamespace: pub3 Warning : do not forget to generate the source for the schema with this targetNamespace: pub3 Type not found for element: PRICE Does SourceGenerator actually try to find the pacakge.class that is specified in castor.properties?

Declare the type you want to use (ie. your user-defined type) in a separate external Schema file, don't worry this is just to trick Castor into thinking the type exists... For example: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsd:schema targetNamespace="user-defined-namespace" ...> <xsd:element name="MyNumberPrice"> <xsd:complexType/> </xsd:element> </xsd:schema> Now import this Schema into your existing Schema (your main schema file): <xsd:import schemaLocation="user-defined.xsd"> Also make sure you declare a prefix for "user-defined-namespace" inside the main schema file as such: <xsd:schema .... xmlns:myTypes="user-defined-namespace" Once imported and have your namespaces set up, you can then refer to the type: <xsd:element name="PRICE" type="myTypes:MyNumberPrice"/> The only remaining thing to do is to map the package for MyNumberPrice to it's namespace in castorbuilder.properties file: # XML namespace mapping to Java packages # org.exolab.castor.builder.nspackages= user-defined-namespace=myPackage Now run the source code generator on your main Schema file. Castor will warn about the imported Schema and tell you that you must generate the source code for that Schema as well. Just ignore it, since of course you already have the class file for your user-defined type.
