Everyone-
I've been puzzling over this problem in my head for a while now and would like some input from the rest of the community. I have an existing class structure that I am initializing with Castor (so I instantiated everything once, set it up the way I want, then marshalled to XML and when I need that setup again, I unmarshal). I have written a few very detailed mapping files to get the XML to look the way I want (well, close enough), but I realized last night that I don't really want to have to hand the mapping files to users... I'd really prefer to only have to hand them the XML file and have Castor do the rest of the work.
So that leads me to the conclusion I need to use ClassDescriptors (if there is another possibility, I'm open to input). Following this conclusion, I am wondering if it is possible to translate the preexisting mapping files into ClassDescriptors that can be included in a code distribution... I have a vague idea of how the mapping file is used internally in Castor, but not enough to know how easy/hard this problem is. Any comments on better implementations or tools to use would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Stephen
