Any reason you're interested in JDO side first? I'm only using XML, and I would also like to see this capability added... That being said, I'm not sure I have the time to work up the patch for XML, but I guess I can look at it when I do find some time.
And my personal opinion would be a modification to the mapping file specifying that Castor should use reflection to get at the field (I'm not sure if there is any way to do this other than reflection). The mapping file has the advantage that I can define this property on a field by field basis.

Based upon this little discussion, is anybody willing to come up with an
initial patch (specific to Castor JDO initially, if possible) ? That
patch should take care of the following tasks:
* identify the contract (if required at all); iow, define a way that
users can instruct Castor to access private getter/setters. This could
be either a configuration option via castor.properties, or be in form of
an amendment to the mapping file.
* identify the main areas of change (iow, include some meaningful
(though minimal) documentation.
* make the necessary changes in for of a unified patch.
Having said that, I think that I'd like to see a initial contribution
from somebody else than me and/or Ralf ... ;-).
