Hi Robert,


hi sebastian

thanks a lot for adding this new Mapper. A dumb question: how can I 
access the refactoring branch? I'm using eclipse to access the apache 
CVS but can't  see that branch anywhere.


i'd say that the easiest way would be to update (a checked out version) 
to the branch (cvs -q up -r REFACTORING-BRANCH_2004-01-13 -d -P in the 
betwixt folder) outside eclipse (the ASF does not allow history commands 
and i have a feel this is how eclipse finds out about branches. (you'll 
need to get hold of a command line client to do this if you don't have 
one already.)

i broke with tradition for the betwixt refactoring and used eclipse (i 
almost always using a simple test editor for the projects i work on) and 
so i know that betwixt will build fine without it but i'd strongly 
recommend downloading maven (http://maven.apache.org) so that you can 
build standard distributions and the documentation.

Hi Robert,
I managed to download the refactoring branch and build a distribution 
using maven. The I created a custom simplytypemapper and launched a 
junit test on my project. Then I discovered that nearly nothing works 
anymore. I removed my simpletypemapper and tried using the .betwixt 
files again. the junit test still failed. then I recognized, that 
collections are not unserialized as they used to do before, so when I 
have an xml like this
<categories>
   <category>...</cateogry>
   <category>...</cateogry>
   <category>...</cateogry>
</categories>
I expected that calling beanReader.parse(new StringReader(myXml)) 
returns a Categories object as it did before (using betwixt alpha 1), 
but for any reason it now returns a Category object.
Did anything substantial changed in how betwixt handles collections?

This is how I configured the beanreader:
  BeanReader beanReader = new BeanReader();
  XMLIntrospector xi = beanReader.getXMLIntrospector();
  IntrospectionConfiguration ic = xi.getConfiguration();
  ic.setAttributesForPrimitives(false);
  ic.setElementNameMapper(capitalizeNameMapper);
  ic.setAttributeNameMapper(capitalizeNameMapper);
  ic.setWrapCollectionsInElement(false);
  beanReader.getBindingConfiguration().setMapIDs(false);
  beanReader.registerBeanClass(Category.class);
  beanReader.registerBeanClass(Categories.class);
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian
