Hi Robert, Well, I was having trouble with betwixt mapping correctly. Unfortunately, I could not find any good examples of a semi-complicated object model/xml mapping for betwixt. Digester seemed quite a bit more straight forward in its "pure" form as opposed to using betwixt on top of it. Plus I was able to find a couple of articles on Digester on the web that were very helpful.
However, if you have any experience with betwixt I would me more than happy to convert the digester version I'm working on to betwixt with your help.
