Fasish,
if you strongly feel that Castor should support such a feature, please open a bug
report with BugZilla and flag it as feature request/enhancement
request. But please be aware that Castor is open source and lives from contributions
made by members of the community ... like yourself.
I cannot tell you anything about how your feature request might be prioritized, but at
the moment the project and its bug list needs a lot of attention, incl.
some serious refactoring in quite some areas, incl. caching, transaction manager,
bugs, bugs, bugs, etc.
