There's a non-zero chance that we've been using a "hacked" jar with a custom castor.properties (rather than just having a local castor.properties on the classpath to override...though I think that should be our preferred method.) >> * for that matter, at some point did the default preference change >> from nested types to attributes for Strings and other simple-ish >> types?

Heheh, not to mention org.exolab.castor.indent=true :-) Thanks! Although clearly the fault was somewhat mine for not researching castor.properties, I do have to say that "java.lang.NullPointerException" is pretty ugly jargon for a "Can't reconcile this xml with the class I'm trying to make from it" -- should I put in a feature request for a more useful error message in this kind of case? (Actually, I almost wish "debug" wasn't just boolean, but with off, on, and "errors only" modes...) ------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this list, please send an empty message to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------
