Hi James,
We don't support "wrapper" elements at this time. However you should be
able to achieve what you want by using a custom FieldHandler that
creates an AnyNode or a wrapper class that <SomeTag> can be mapped to.
For example:
/**
* Lightweight wrapper class needed by Castor marshaller
*/
public class SomeTag {
public String getX1();
public void setX1(String x1);
}
Your custom FieldHandler getValue can do the following:
public Object getValue(Object parent) {
X x = (X)parent;
SomeTag sTag = new SomeTag();
sTag.setX1(x.getX1());
return sTag;
}
The wrapper class is only used during unmarshalling and marshalling and
not as part of the actual object model.
