Hi,
just to add a bit more clarity before trying to address your question.
When you use the Castor XML code generator to generate Java source files
from an XML schema, you'll see that an additional set of classes will
be generated, i.e. the descriptor classes. It's those files that
completely replace a mapping file during XML data binding.
So for the remainder of this, let's use the term 'descriptor classes':

It's not that you have to use this method for unmarshalling. Why not
switch to the same method as highlighted below for the mapping ? You can
even turn off generation of the marshalling methods completely.
