Thanks for your early reply Ralf. I've created a new jira issue as you suggested and attached a test case. For everyone who's interested in the topic of Castor-JAXB Interoperability:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CASTOR-2904 Regards Martin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Ralf Joachim [mailto:ralf.joac...@syscon.eu] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28. April 2010 23:31 An: dev@castor.codehaus.org Betreff: Re: [castor-dev] Castor-JAXB Interoperability Hi Martin, we appreciate any effort to make Castor more compatible with JAXB. I suggest you to create a new jira issue for the problem at hand a attach a minimal test case to replay the problem. I think Werner, who is the one familiar with that part of Castor, will take it from there.
