Bin, How are you invoking the Marshaller/Unmarshaller to (un-)marshall your entities ? If you are using the static (un-)marshal methods, the mapping file provided by you will not be considered during the (un-)marshalling operation. If you still want your mapping file to be applied, please consider using the non-static (un-)marshal methods.
You might find it worthwhile to have a look at the F.A.Q. to be found at http://castor.org/xml-faq.html.
