Hi Joe,
You can do a couple things:
1. Use a castor-standard naming convention and place the descriptor in
the
same package as the class that it describes.
For example if you have a class: com.acme.Foo
Then create com.acme.FooDescriptor and castor will find it automatically
for you.
-or-
2. If you wish to place your descriptors some place other than the
package, You can implement (or extend the default one) a
ClassDescriptorResolver which will tell Castor how to find your
descriptors.
