Michael- So I remembered this discussion a while back and dug through the archives to find it.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=castor-user&m=112267315616893&w=2 If you're using a schema and source generation, then possibly using nillable in the schema will help. Just went digging through the code, and while there doesn't seem to be a way to access nillable from the mapping file, you can set nillable if you get your hands on the XMLFieldDescriptorImpl. I could see an implementation (albeit non-optimal) where a mapping file is loaded, and then the the necessary ClassDescriptors are retrieved in order to get the XMLFieldDescriptor objects and set nillable to true. Sorry I can't be of much more help.
