Stefan, Have you ever had a look at the MappingTool (src/main/org/exolab/castor/tools/MappingTool) that uses standard introspection to generate a mapping file from a given set of classes ? As far as I know, it creates a Castor XML-specific mapping file only, but I think it should not be too hard to add code that generated the <sql> elements for the classes given.
In other words, why re-invent the wheel when the MappingTool already offers funtionality that you require, but is not feature complete yet.
