I'm going to answer my own question here. Castor can, in fact, load
mapping descriptors from within jar files just fine. At my day job we
actually put the mapping descriptors in jar files. I wasn't aware of
this until today. We locate the mapping descriptor in the CLASSPATH and
then pass on the java.net.URL to Mapping#loadMapping(). Here is the URL
when it locates a mapping descriptor:
Loading mapping descriptors from
jar:file:/home/bsnyder/ltp/phase4/rt/ltp-rt/lib/LTP.jar!/com/digitalglobe/mp/order/spec/ECEFTaskingSpec.xml
HTH.
