Title: Marshaling/unmarshaling Collection of Strings. (pbs)
Hello,
 
Castor do not seems to support the xml marshalling/unmarshing of collections
of strings.
 
I could not manage to make it work (and I have now used castor
for already severals months), and nobody seems to report any experience
of succesfully marshaling / unmarshaling collections (Array or Vectors) of strings.
 
Do I have to assumed that Castor do not support this kind of unmarshalling?
 
I also have noticed that most of the discussion in this mailing list is focussed
on JDO. Does it means that the support of xml marshalling / unmarshalling
in files (rather than databases) is relatively limited?
 
Any suggestion for other xml marshalling/unmarshalling technologies
that works well. (simple to use, flexible, is able to marshall/unmarshall
complexe & relatively big objects into several files)?
 
The context:
I am designing cognitive agent-based systems in which is articulated into
the tree elements:
* a knowledge base of objects that represent a domain.
* a sophisticated user model. (which makes reference to the knowledge
base as well as the other user models)
* a set of artificial agents.
 
I want to use xml Marshalling/Unmarshalling in order to provide persistance
to my framework. (and to a certain extend I want to be able to store the
user models in different files.). It is now working reasonably well
(even spliting in several files using references), but I went into some problems
when I wanted to transform a String attribute into an attribute that is storing
several Strings.
 
 
Thanks
 
Thierry

Hello,

I am having some problems unmarshaling
collection of strings.
I have tried both with Vector of Strings
and Array of Strings with the same error
when unmarshaling.
An in each case I have used a Mapping files
(I tried the differents combination in the field
definition, from specifying or not the collection
attribute, the same for the type). 
.... (details of the problem)
