Well, I can just unmarshall it myself if I have to. I
am glad that marshalling works, as it allows me to
treat output uniformly. I already have to know what
to expect on the unmarshalling side, since the
unmarshaller wants to know the class to unmarshall to,
so I can just handle the boolean expected case without
using an unmarshaller. I was just surprised that
marshalling and unmarshalling are not inverse
operations - I expected that what could be marshalled
by Castor should be able to be unmarshalled by Castor.
No big deal, I just will be careful not to make that
assumption anymore. Thanks for your prompt reply.
