Andy, Usually any method on a domain object (whether getter or setter et alias) will be called through a FieldHandler. In other words, upon loading a mapping file, Castor will internally create Classdescriptor and FieldDescriptor instances that hold all the information as encountered in the mapping file (names of XML elements, structure, etc.)
For an instance variable, the corresponding XMLFieldDescriptor(Impl) will have a FieldHandler instance associated which will be called during setting a value on this instance variable. I hope this helps you to get started. Werner PS Feel free to join me on the #castor channel on irc://irc.codehaus.org (or through the HTML domain available at http://irc.codehaus.org). PSS I have CCed the dev list, as I'd like to switch this to the dev list once this gets really technical.
