Radhakrishnan,
You are missing the collection="map" attribute in your mapping file:
Change your mapping as such:
<mapping>
<class name="tavant.SimpleBean" >
<description>Default mapping for class
tavant.SimpleBean</description>
<map-to xml="simple-bean"/>
<field name="map" type="org.exolab.castor.mapping.MapItem"
collection="map">
<bind-xml name="map" node="element"/>
</field>
</class>
</mapping>
Actually, you probably don't even need to specify the type attribute in
this case, I think the below also works fine:
<mapping>
<class name="tavant.SimpleBean" >
<description>Default mapping for class
tavant.SimpleBean</description>
<map-to xml="simple-bean"/>
<field name="map" collection="map">
<bind-xml name="map" node="element"/>
</field>
</class>
</mapping>
