If using hexBinary  how would I get the file contents into the castor create 
class.   

I would need to define a binary array somehow,  and then stream the file 
somehow into the array,  correct?

Any code snippet would be great

You can use "xsd:hexBinary" or "xsd:base64Binary"

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#hexBinary
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#base64Binary

And try to rename "File" to "FileContent" or something like that :-)
Also think about meta-information like last-modification date, 
filesystem attributes, if you need this.
