Thanks for the response. I looked into the content handler but I don't think one can control what gets un/marshalled from it. I think it's used to process data as it gets un/marshalled.
I'll post if I find anything to address the problem.

Rob-
It probably isn't too helpful, but my first reaction would be to use
an XQuery processor to slice up the XML file and then unmarshal the
result in Castor. You might look into the listener interfaces in
Castor (I'm thinking UnmarshalListener), but I don't think those offer
any control, just event notification. Another option is to create a
ContentHandler that sits between the parser and Castor that only sends
Castor the events that you want it to receive. There might be an
easier way to do this, but those are the off-the-top-of-my-head
solutions...
If you get a solution that works, please let us know, as it will
probably help others in the future.
