I am writing an application that stores it's data to an XML file. I have been using
Castor to develop it and it is simply a wonderful framework and tool. The data that
my app uses is well structured and is represented by an object graph. The root object
is called "History" which contains many "Event" objects. Each "Event" object has
other to-one and to-many relationships and so on. The problem is that when I
instantiate a History object, I have to manually instantiate each and every
relationship. It's not a problem for small object graphs but I am dealing with a
complex object with many relationships. From what I can tell, Castor only supports
shallow instantiation meaning when you create a new instance of a class, it does not
create any of the mandatory relationships. It would be nice if there was a
SourceGenerator option to select either shallow or deep instantiation. Deep
instantiation will make it easier to code applications using complex object graphs and
keep !
things consistent when the underlying schema changes. Is there such an option or is
this a feature request?
