Hi Paul,
You can do this with a mapping file. You just have to be real careful to
make sure the field name in the mapping file, matches exactly with
what's in the generated descriptor.
So for example in you have a class com.acme.Foo, with a field _bar you
can override the the field descriptor for bar as such:
<mapping>
<class name="com.acme.Foo" auto-complete="true">
<field name="_bar" type="...">
<bind-xml name="bar"/>
</field>
</class>
</mapping>
When you marshal, you'll have to load the mapping file and set it in the
Marshaller, you can't use the generated marshal() methods.
So you'll need to do something like the following:
Mapping mapping = new Mapping();
mapping.loadMapping("mapping.xml");
Marshaller m = new Marshaller(writer);
m.setMapping(mapping):
m.marshal(foo);
