Thanks a lot for your response!
I am trying to do a java-xml mapping - so no RDBMS involved here.
I have a schema, and I generated classes using the SourceGenerator. Incidentally, the
schema has a xd:date type.
Then, I tried to generate the mapping file automatically using the MappingTool and the
generated classes. The tool generated the mapping as previously posted.
<class cst:name="com.ccmc.cure.xml.procClaims.Claim">
<field cst:name="loss_date" cst:type="org.exolab.castor.types.Date"
cst:required="true">
<bind-xml name="loss_date" node="element"/>
</field>
</class>
<class cst:name="org.exolab.castor.types.Date">
<description>Default mapping for class org.exolab.castor.types.Date</description>
<map-to cst:xml="date"/>
<field cst:name="content" cst:type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="content" node="text"/>
</field>
</class>
The problem is that there is no getContent() method on org.exolab.castor.types.Date.
Plus, I wanted to be able to output the value of a java.util.Date as the loss_date. So
in the java code I created the loss_date field using the org.exolab.castor.types.Date
constructor that accepts a java.util.Date.
So the question now is, since there is no getContent method on
org.exolab.castor.types.Date, do I have to modify the mapping file to use a different
method instead? If so, is it the toString method?
Thanks

Nischala,
if you asking about how to use the type org.exolab.castor.types.Date when
mapping classes to a RDBMS schema, I am afraid this won't work out of
the box .. ;-). Let me know what your (real) intention is, and we'll take care
of your problem. It has just happened that we (the committers) discussed this
very issue a couple of weeks ago, and the fix should be straightforward.
Regards
Werner
