Hi Doug,
Keep in mind, Castor is a Java Data Binding framework, which generally
means you are working with a Java object model, either marshalling from
the object model to some other representation, such as a database or XML
file, or unmarshalling from the data representation back into an object
model.
With that being said however, going from DB->XML directly is something
we used to have at a very simple level, but the person working on it
changed jobs and was unable to continue his work. This was called DTX or
(Database-to-XML). You can still find the old DTX code in the CVS, but
it's going to need some work. If this is something that interests you,
feel free to experiment with it.
