Castor doesn't provide access to element names...so your add method will
have to be smart:
public void addChild(Object child) {
if (child instanceof Foo) {
_children.put("foo", child);
}
else if (child instanceof Bar) {
_children.put("bar", child);
}
}
You could also make a small function to calculate the name, or use
Castor's built in default algorithm:
import org.exolab.castor.xml.util.DefaultNaming;
...
private DefaultNaming _naming = new DefaultNaming();
...
public void addChild(Object child) {
_children.put(_naming.createXMLName(child), child);
}
