I have a simple TestClass consisting of a single field that is a 2D array: public float[][] array;
(and a constructor to initialize the array). Using Castor's default class inspection stuff, an instance of this class can be converted into xml. If I then attempt to unmarshal the object using the following, it works: Unmarshaller u = new Unmarshaller(TestClass.class); TestClass test = (TestClass) u.unmarshal(new StringReader(xml)); However, I need to use a mapping file. The entry for this class looks as follows: <class name="TestClass"> <field name="array" type="float" collection="array" direct="true"/> </class> Using this mapping file, the same xml is written out by the Marshaller. No problems so far. However, when attempting to unmarshal the object using the mapping, it fails: Mapping mapping = new Mapping(); mapping.loadMapping( "mapping.xml" ); Unmarshaller u = new Unmarshaller(mapping); TestClass test = (TestClass) u.unmarshal(new StringReader(xml)); throwing a NullPointerException in org.exolab.castor.xml.UnmarshalHandler.endElement(UnmarshalHandler.java: 757) This leads me to believe that Castor *can* successfully marshal and unmarshal objects with 2D arrays, but either: a) not when a mapping file is specified b) not when the mapping file is wrong! Hopefully it's b) and fixable? Or maybe even a c) ? I don't have any other problems using mapping files, but for some reason these 2D arrays are just not working.
