Keith, thank you very much for the explanations.
Some follow up questions. Sorry that if someone has already asked them, I
couldn't find the exact answers that I'm looking for in the mail archive:
Q A:
Do these two files share the same kind of properties. The castor WEB page
listed the properties that castor.properties support, but no mention of
castbuilder.properties.
Q B:
I assume the following steps is one of the possible ways to use the XML
framework.
1) Generate "normal" and descriptor java classes from schema. Say XXX,
XXXDescriptor and YYY, YYYDescriptor are the generated java file.
2) Extend my own class, say myXXX and myYYY from the generated class, XXX
and YYY respectively.
3) write a mapping file which maps XXX and YYY in the schema to myXXX and
myYYY respectively.
4) Extend myXXXDescriptor and myYYYDescriptor from XXXDescriptor and
YYYDescriptor respectively.
If this approach is OK and if I have nothing to add to myXXXDescriptor, is
there a way to tell the framework to use XXXDescriptor for marshaling and
unmarshaling?
Wei
