Hi Brian, That seems a bit odd that the namespace setting would effect the ignore extra elements. I'm not sure what could be the problem there. However, you could try using the CVS version of Castor, which has a built in patch for the "'xml' is reserved and cannot be declared." issue. Basically we now allow the mapping of the 'xml' prefix as long as the namespace URI is the proper one. This solves the Xerces issue with mapping that prefix. I'm still scratching my head as to why they automatically map that prefix, but that's beside the point.
So with the CVS version you won't need to set the org.exolab.castor.parser.namespaces=true flag. --Keith "Brian Dillon (ext. 944)" wrote: > > Hi, > > I am using castor 0.9.5.2 and Tomcat 4.
