[castor-user] XML--nested attributes/text

[Donna_Partridge]

I am new to Castor and new to java so my question may be trivial but here
is my problem:  The following XML marshals in and out fine if you leave out
"promo"  -- which isn't an option.  Should I use a nested class mapping --
and how?

note:  I can make KEYWORDS, ENABLE_STEMMING, MODE string variables in my
MERCH_RULE_TRIGGER class, I get the KEYWORD tag displayed correctly with
the "promo" value but loose the attributes.  The location tag does not put
the attributes in the   " KEYWORDS" tag.


Thanks,
Donna

XML:

<MERCH_RULES>
        <MERCH_RULE ID="4"
            <MERCH_RULE_TRIGGER INHERIT="FALSE">
                        <DVAL_ID ID="20013161"/>
                        <DVAL_ID ID="20013162"/>
                        <KEYWORDS ENABLE_STEMMING="TRUE"
                         MODE="MATCHEXACT">promo</KEYWORDS>
            </MERCH_RULE_TRIGGER>
     </MERCH_RULE>
</MERCH_RULES>
