Matt-
Have you tried marshalling the objects created by Castor using the
same mapping file? If it isn't important to your application, you
probably don't need to worry about it, but I think in the past there
has been a problem with the serializer escaping XML in strings so that
the file doesn't look as expected (lots of < entities floating
around).
Thanks for working on the how-to!
