Hi Andy,
If you want to do XML Schema validation during unmarshalling when using
a mapping file for the binding, you need to enable parser validation in
the castor.properties.
org.exolab.castor.parser.validation=true
By default it's disabled.
This will allow Xerces (or whatever parser you're using) to handle the
validation and Castor will simply handle the XML binding.
You may also want to disable Castor's validators in this case, since
they really don't provide much use when used in conjunction with a
mapping file:
org.exolab.castor.marshalling.validation=false
