Thanks Rhett, That is indeed the problem. When I made the change to the dtd locally from a NMTOKEN to a CDATA my validation was fine. And it looks as though Castor does no type of validation of the mapping xml file at load time, correct? Otherwise, my mapping file would not work since it points to a DTD that would fail validation. Is the DTD in place more as a development aid to make sure you have correct syntax?
Anyone know if there is anything that I can do to help get this into a defect/bug/enhancement list? Or actually fix the problem? The change that needs to be made is in the http://castor.exolab.org/mapping.dtd: from this: <!ELEMENT sql EMPTY> <!ATTLIST sql name NMTOKENS #IMPLIED type NMTOKENS #IMPLIED many-key NMTOKENS #IMPLIED many-table NMTOKEN #IMPLIED read-only ( true | false ) "false" dirty ( check | ignore ) "check"> to this: <!ELEMENT sql EMPTY> <!ATTLIST sql name NMTOKENS #IMPLIED type CDATA #IMPLIED <---note change here. many-key NMTOKENS #IMPLIED many-table NMTOKEN #IMPLIED read-only ( true | false ) "false" dirty ( check | ignore ) "check"> thanks, chad.

The DTD should probably be changed to use CDATA instead of NMTOKENS.
