somewhere between started and finished :-/ it's a complex subject and a comprehensive solution would be a lot of work... please checkout the latest code from trunk and use that: it's stable and compatible and a lot of effort has been put into this area since the last release. build should be easy since maven will handle the dependencies. > In particular, is there currently a way to "turn on" className attribute > output for some or all beans? > I've read http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/betwixt/guide/derived.html, but > it doesn't > say much about how one would actually go about getting those className > attributes into the XML stream. for all beans - the class property is suppressed by default: stop suppressing it and use a custom mapping strategy. for some beans - use a dot betwixt file and explicit map the class property what betwixt really needs is a configurator to make this easy :-/ > If there is no "on switch" for derived bean support, would I have to write a > custom ChainedBeanCreator? there are number of cases where this is the easiest way but derived beans will work automatically given the right configuration. > In either case, are there any working examples > out there? I'm sure that would help clear things up a lot. i don't know of a working example. perhaps someone who does will jump in now. take a look at the tests: many of these in this area were submitted by users and are reasonable examples. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
