Hi Angelina,
This happens because you are marshalling the class that corresponds to
the complexType. Since it's the complexType class, it doesn't correlate
to a specific element. The XML name could really be anything, Castor
automatically creates an XML name for you during the marshalling and
simply uses the class name to do this.
It would probably be good if Castor added some possible correlation to
all top-level elements declared of that type. In the case of only one
element, it could simply choose that name, if more than one element,
then it would choose the first one it found.
In any case, you can specify the "root" element name you want in the
Marshaller.
Marshaller m = new Marshaller(writer);
m.setRootElement("APLTask");
m.marshal(myAPLTaskType);
During unmarshalling, the root element name doesn't matter, just pass in
the complexType for unmarshalling:
Unmarshaller u = new Unmarshaller(APLTaskType.class);
u.unmarshal(reader);
