Daneil,
this is the right place to suggest such a feature (CCing the dev list as
well). Having said that, let me just add a few random observations:
a) Castor currently does support (Hash)Maps as collection type for
multivalued collections, as per mapping file and through code generation.
b) The syntax is a bit more complicated as for other collection types,
as we do need some flexibility to define the XML binding for the
key/value pair.
c) As far as I know, this is being used for element type content only.
As such, I have to confess that I have never tried to use this against
attribute type. Looks like I have to try this first.
Having said that, if this is not supported, support for such a feature
could be added. Would you be willing to work with us to add such a
feature ?
Regards
Werner
