Hallo,
I'm an enthusiastic user of Castor's capability to transform bean-like Java
data objects to XML.
The only thing I'm missing, is that the bean naming convention to start
"boolean question methods" like isEmpty() with the prefix "is" instead of
"get". I found that Castor does not recognize such isFoo() methods and they
are only included in the XML output if I write an additional getFoo()
method. This is cumbersome. Is there a chance to get this feature in the
next Castor XML release?

I have written two classes that uses the decorator or wrapper pattern to
provide the toXml() feature and other nice capabilities to arbitrary
bean-like classes and even to Java 2 collections that are not handled by
default using Castor.
May be they are of interest as a useful add on in a Castor "util" package...
