Isabelle, Change the "C" in Castor to lower case and it should work.

It was looking like that, but unfortunately, I did not take note of the exact words. -- Exception raised in org.exolab.castor.mapping.Mapping: MappingException: caused by: ConnectException: failed to connect to Castor.exolab.org on port 80 -- (Castor with a capital C) In fact, even in a browser I could not resolve the url "http://Castor.exolab.org"; yesterday before noon, from here. But the real question is, what am I doing wrong to get the Castor jar file to connect to your machine?!?! Isn't a jar file supposed to work in a standalone way? I assume it is something I do wrong because no one on your list seem to worry about that. But because of that, all our application is down! I searched the jar file, I searched the source code, but I didn't find anywhere the String "Castor.exolab.org" except in the documentation. I use Castor in a J2EE 1.2 application version: castor-0.9.3.9 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_03-b03, mixed mode) BEA Weblogic Server 6.1, running on RedHat Linux (kernel 2.4.9-12) This is the code that throws the exception: public class XMLSerializer { static Mapping map= null; static { if(map==null) { map= new Mapping(); // The exception is thrown in the line below map.loadMapping("[...]/mapping.xml"); } } static public String toXML(Object objectToSerialize){ [...] } static public Object fromXML(String xmlString){ [...] } } Any help would be appreciated, ------------------------ Isabelle Therrien software developer CIRANO, Montr�al, Qu�bec ------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev
