I can shed some light on this... We all held a meeting the other day, and we choose by random the people that we refuse to answer questions from. Unfortunately your name was choosen...but since it appears that you're on to us, I guess I can make an exception and try to answer you mail.

At least not in the schema fragment you gave. Actually, I'm surprised no error message is given about that. You can refer to an element using element ref, but you cannot ref to an anonymous complexType definition. If you have a complexType such as: <complexType name="info"> <xs:all> <xs:element name="createdBy" type="xs:string"/> </xs:all> ... </complexType> Then it would work...because type="info" would then refer to this type. > It seems that using ref can generate correct > getter/setter for containing objects, but it does let > me to specify property names. Is there any way around? When using element ref, no you can't change the name of the element, it's purely a reference to an existing declaration. Castor will let you change the name of the getter/setter methods however in the binding file. For an example binding file take a look at the src/examples/SourceGenerator directory, it contains a bindingInvoice.xml file which should be a good enough example to get you started with that. And please...don't tell anyone I responded to your e-mail...it could ruin my reputation! ;-) I hope that helps, --Keith ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev
