James-
I think you have two options. First, what I often do is use the
location attribute in my bind-xml element to wrap collections in
whatever element I want. Your other option was covered recently on this
mailing list, and that is to set collection="false" in the field element
for the list. It seems counter-intuitive (and has been admitted as so I
believe), but by setting that attribute Castor recognizes you want an
element wrapping the members of the list.

I am trying to map a List but have yet to work out the correct Castor
mapping. When I let Castor auto-complete the class which contains the
List I get all of the elements of the list at the same level. For
example if my object contains a List of two elements I will get XML
which looks like the following:
<my-object>
<list-element>
<element-field/>
</list-element>
<list-element>
<element-field/>
</list-element>
</my-object>
Instead I am trying to get XML which looks like this:
<my-object>
<my-list>
<list-element>
<element-field/>
</list-element>
<list-element>
<element-field/>
</list-element>
</my-list>
</my-object>
I have tried using a mapping.xml with the following entry:
<class name="MyObject"
auto-complete="true">
<!--
<field name="myList"
collection="arraylist"
type="MyListClass"/>
-->
</class>
I get the first example XML whether or not I use the <field> element in
the <class> mapping element above.
The List member of the class I'm mapping is actually a List<E>, in that
it is a List of objects of a class which is also mapped in the
mapping.xml. Maybe Castor doesn't yet support generics, but I haven't
seen anything to that effect in the documentation.
Can someone steer me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any
suggestions!
