So what do I set the type attribute equal to? I just tried without setting the type and castor through a NPE. It seems the type attribute must be set to something, but in my case as explained below the collection can hold different class types. I am using Castor 9.7 if that makes a difference
Thanks :) J -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Bash [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 8:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [castor-user] Collections Jason- In general Castor will determine the class of an object automatically and map it based on the mapping for the given class. If Castor doesn't think there is enough information in the mapping file to instantiate the correct object during unmarshalling, it will add an xsi:type attribute to the xml element to help out the Unmarshaller (i.e. xsi:type="java:java.lang.String" or xsi:type="java:foo.Bar"). So in general I would say just try it. If you run into some problems, feel free to ask further questions.
