Hola David, Hola Ralf, sorry for being a bit late in this conversation, but I have spent a lot of time on the Castor 1.3.2 release (much more than I actually intended to do, but as there's a few changes wrt the Codehaus infrastructure, it all got a bit more .. well, complicated).
Anyhow, here's my comments in addition to Ralf's.

Exactly my thoughts. In addition, there's a few things you should now: * Castor XML: is an XML binding framework that's part of the main Castor project. In other words, you'll find some project ideas related to XML data binding. * org.codehaus.castor:spring-xml is a dead project, as it has been superceeded by Spring's OXM project. Basically, the Spring WS guys and us had the same idea at about the same time, hence the creation of the spring-xml project. Please do not consider this anymore. * Spring OXM: all project ideas in this area work towards making usage of Castor XML with Spring OXM easier and/or more powerful. In other words, most of the code will be contributions to Spring's OXM project. But Castor users should greatly benefit. I hope this clears it up a bit. >> >> * To move forward I downloaded the spring-xml module with the >> intention to go riding a test environment.
