[castor-dev] exception: unable to find FieldDescriptor for...in ClassDescriptor of...

[Dede Ball]

Hi,

Does anyone have an experience with an error like this?  I expect it is a result of a problem with my mapping file.  Thanks in advance.

Here's the error:

org.xml.sax.SAXException: unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'citycode' in ClassDescriptor of

Here's the pertinent fragment of my mapping file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mapping>
      <class name="org.mitre.acis.portal.weather.USCurrentWeather">
           <map-to xml="weather"/>

           </field>
      :
      :
      :
     </class>
</mapping>
 

Here's the pertinent fragment from CurrentCondition.java:

package org.mitre.acis.portal.weather;

import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.Enumeration;

public class CurrentCondition {

       private String cityCode;

       public void setCityCode(String inCityCode) {
              cityCode = inCityCode;
       }
 
       public String getCityCode() {
              return cityCode;
       }
 
 }
