Hi Mark, Good question... and a resonable thing to want to do...
Unfortunately I don't believe it's possible at the moment. It might be good to introduce a way to do this mapping...something like: <mapping> <use-handler name="com.agedwards.core.xml.DateFieldHandler" type="date"/> </mapping> Or even in the castor.properties to allow default introspection to use the handler also. I've added this to my list of things to do, but I'm not sure how long it might take to implement or when I'll have a chance to get to it. If this is something you'd be interested in helping us implement, then please feel free to do so. The best thing to do for now is to open an enhancement request at http://bugzilla.exolab.org for tracking purposes.
