Thanks for the reply Arnaud.
Because I am have org.exolab.castor.builder.javaclassmapping=type in the castorbuilder.properties file, I only have classes generated for the complex types, not for the elements. Is it possible to specify to the complex type class instance what element name to use (perhaps on construction or with a set method)? This is only a problem for the root tag since all child elements' names are stored by the parent complex type classes. There is no parent complex type for the root, therefore no place to store the correct element name.
