I've just given a shot at what you'vesuggested by imbeding my XML elements
in others so they have valid xpaths.
However, the SourceGenerator doesn't seem to have a '-binding-file'
option:
D:\dev\dev_G101\App\src\WCT\example>castor.bat --help
Invalid command line option -binding-file
Usage: -i filename [-package package-name] [-dest dest-dir]
[-line-separator ( unix | mac | win)] [-f ] [-h ]
[-verbose ] [-nodesc ] [-types types] [-type-factory classname]
[-nomarshall ] [-testable ] [-sax1 ]
Also, if my elements are located off of the schema element:
<schema...
<option...
<amenities
Should the xpath specified in the binding file be /option/amenities or
/schema/option/amenities ?
Thx,
Aurangzeb

:</cbf:binding>

:where name= is the xpath to the duplicated element
:
:then pass this binding file into the SourceGenerator e.g.
:
:java -classpath %JAVACLASSPATH% org.exolab.castor.builder.SourceGenerator -i
:C:/XML/XMLSchemas/your.xsd -package com.yourpackage -dest src -types j2
:-binding-file bindingDuplicates.xml

:when you marshall back to XML the original element name will be intact. It
