Hi,
I am not absolutely sure but there is another attribute for the fields
element, try making this also package specific.
e.g.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mapping>
<class name="myclass.ClassName">
<field name="someFieldName" type="string"
handler="package.MyHandler"/>
</class>
</mapping>
Hope this helps.
