Dave,
A common manner in which to achieve this type of behavior is to set
the container attribute on the field element to true in the XML
mapping descriptor. This tells Castor that the field is not to be
considered a first class object. However, please note that the
container attribute is typically used for objects like
java.util.Collections and will cause only the fields of each object in
the collection to be marshalled, not the objects themselves. I highly
suggest reading through this description from Keith:
