I have been working on something else for awhile, but have come back to this problem.� I now have the objects modeled correctly, with an Address base class and a ResidentialAddress extended class that has the additional ResidentailAddress field.� I am still having trouble with the mapping however.� I have a Shipper object that has get/setAddress methods which take the base Address object. �In the mapping file, how do I tell it to map an Address or a ResidentialAddress depending on what is actually there to an <Address> tag.� My first attempt was to try this: � <class name="com.test.stuff.Shipper" > ����� ... ����� <field name="Address" type="com.test.stuff.Address" > ����������� <bind-xml name="Address" /> ����� </field> ����� <field name="Address" type="com.test.stuff.ResidentialAddress" > ����������� <bind-xml name="Address" /> ����� </field> </class> � Obviously, it didn't work because I am declaring the address field twice.� Has anybody done something similar? � � Thanks -John -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Fawcett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 9:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [castor-user] Modeling and Mapping an empty and optional element � Hi John, � You could maybe consider you using a base type and an extended type in your schema? � I believe there is an example of this type of thing in the XML Schema specification? � Cheers, � Andy. �
