I think that it is a transformer because it actually transforms elements in its namespace to their bean representation. And you can use any generator to create the input for the transformer, e.g.: an XSP page (not only a static xml file) can be used to generate dynamic markup including castor transformer elements. Of course, it can be also a generator, but in that case you would support all possible sources of input markup. > Are there any other things to consider when choosing between a transformer > and a generator?
