there is one more thing i'd like to mention: betwixt is slow. one reason why it's slow is that it uses reflection. if you do run into performance issues, then generating XMLBeanInfo's is probably the answer (either as source or using a byte code library such as http://sourceforge.net/projects/cglib/). i'm probably not going to be able to get round to this any time soon but if you (or any other volunteer ;) fancies taking this one on, post to this list and i'll be glad to help as much as i can.

many thanks for the test case.
(i had a bit of an accident whilst chopping onions for my tea today and can't type very well so my apologies if i'm a little short and haven't added the usual tests and documentation.)
there is a reason why the default adders are set in addDefaults: it allows users to set custom adders on a per-property basis. however, i'm not too sure whether this is working right now.
so, what i've added is support for a couple of extra attributes on addDefaults. setting add-properties='false' will prevent any extra properties from being added. i hope you'll forgive me if i direct you to the test case rather than explain too much more.
i hope that this will provide a workable solution. if not, then don't be afraid to speak up.

Hi Robert, I've run into a issue with collections that I can work around, but I am hoping can be solved more cleanly with a fairly simple modification to the ElementRule class.
Here's the situation. I have a bean that includes a composite property as well as some properties that I do not want written to XML or set when XML is read. Therefore, I created a .betwixt file that includes the composite property, but does not include the property I want ignored. When I create XML from the bean, it looks exactly right. However, when I read it back in, the bean does not have the composite property set.
The composite property is set if I have no .betwixt file or include the tag in the .betwixt file. However, I need a .betwixt file and I would rather not use the tag because if I do, I'll have to explicitly "hide" all the properties I want ignored in the .betwixt file. For maintenance reasons, I'd rather be able to just write the .betwixt file once and not have to change it if new properties are added to the bean that do not pertain to the XML generation/reading.
I included below a test case and a patch that causes the test case to pass and doesn't break any other unit tests (I tested against your refactoring branch).
Is there a better way to solve this problem? If not, would it be possible to commit the patch?
Thanks again for the continued help. Brian
