[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [castor-dev] problem marshalling XML from mapping file Hi,   I am using Castor to marshall java objects into XML.  I have created the mapping file and am using the non-static marshall method to create my XML.   The problem I am having is that my generated xml contains lots of information which I don’t want within the XML.   My mapping file looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mapping>     <class name="com.retailexp.amp.transferobjects.offer.type.Offer"         extends="com.retailexp.amp.common.transferobjects.Resource">         <description>Default mapping for class com.retailexp.amp.transferobjects.offer.type.Offer</description>         <map-to xml="offer"/>           <field name="resourceId" type="long" required="true"             direct="false" transient="false">             <bind-xml name="resource-id" node="attribute"/>         </field>           <field name="typeId" type="integer" required="true"             direct="false" transient="false">             <bind-xml name="type-id" node="attribute"/>         </field>           <field name="name" type="string" required="false" direct="false" transient="false">             <bind-xml name="name" node="attribute"/>         </field>           <field name="startDate" type="date" required="true"             direct="false" transient="false">             <bind-xml

            direct="false" transient="false">             <bind-xml name="type-id" node="attribute"/>         </field>     </class>   </mapping>   The generated XML ( this is only a snippet because it is huge) looks like the following:   <points-redemption-price-offer type-id="44" resource-id="10001" skeleton="false" store-group-usage-iD="0" offer-limit="6" label-type-id ="1">   <program resource-id="300"/> <start-date>2003-05-12T16:03:00.015+01:00</start-date>   <label-type type-id="34" resource-id="1"> <name>Standard</name> <brief-description>Label Type Id: 1 Standard</brief-description></label-type>   As you can see In the root tag points-redemption-price-offer there are several attributes.  In my mapping file I have only assigned 3 attributes why does it add all these extra attributes to the XML.  It also adds lots of other stuff and I don’t understand why.  I have auto complete set to false so introspection should not be on.   Anyone help??   Thanks
