Ok, sorry my last reply didn't help.
Don't take my word for it... but it sounds like you'll need to implement your own
handler, then.
See: http://www.castor.org/xml-mapping.html#7.2-Create-your-own-FieldHandler
In your getValue and setValue methods, I suppose that you would write something like:
return ((Zoo)object).getFoo();
and
((Zoo)object).setFoo((Foo)value);
Let me know if that does the trick.
