Changed my mapping file to this:
...
<field name="innerData" type="java.lang.Object" handler="MyHandler">
<bind-xml name="inner" node="element" />
</field>
...
and created a customer generalized handler:
---------------------------
import org.exolab.castor.mapping.GeneralizedFieldHandler;
public class MyHandler extends GeneralizedFieldHandler
{
public MyHandler() {
super();
}
public Object convertUponGet(Object value) {
if (value == null) return null;
return value.toString();
}
public Object convertUponSet(Object value) {
return value.toString();
}
public Class getFieldType() {
return String.class;
}
public Object newInstance( Object parent )
throws IllegalStateException
{
//-- Since it's marked as a string...just return null,
//-- it's not needed.
return null;
}
}
Thanks for looking at it!

I haven't used it myself, but I think what you want to look into is
Castor's AnyNode support. I don't know as there is a lot of
documentation available, but I think if you search the mail archives
for AnyNode, you might find some helpful discussions. Sorry I can't
be of more help.
