Hi all,

I have couple of points in my mind to improve the Camel-castor
component , i will look in to them according to my spare time .

1.)  Adding an example to illustrate usage of  Camel-castor component
this will generally address the usage of any XML to Java mapping , I
think this might help out for other OXM components too.

2. ) At the moment Camel-castor component doesn't supports for all
configuration options available with Castor framework. Gradually i
will add more options with proper test cases .

3.) This Camel-castor component only supports for Caster XML mapping
features only, but castor provide nice JDO[1] framework too ( ORM
mapper similar to Hibernate) I'm planing to improve this component to
supports castor-JDO too. The main advantage here is only one mapping
file is enough for both OXM and ORM mapping. Some possible use cases
as follows

 a.)- Getting XML content and convert into a beans and save/update in a DB.
 b.)- Retrieving some beans from a DB and convert them as a XML
content to send.

Thanks ,
