David- Castor does in general support marshalling and unmarshalling Java Maps. In your example, are the Address and PhoneNumber objects the key and value respectively? In my work I've almost always used a primitive key with a complex value, but I'm pretty sure full objects can be used for both key and value if desired.
For an example of the mapping document Castor would need to handle a map, see the following post: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01939.html HTH, Stephen On 4/2/06, David Gagnon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm searching a way to marshal a hashmap that contains custom type > like a CivicAddress, PhoneNumber into an XML file. > > I need to be able to read this XML and getting back the same HashMap > with the same properties.The properties in the Map aren't known. > > I look into castor to find an answer as well as Betwixt, XMLBeans, JAXB > after trying stuff for few hours .. im just lost:-( > Is that possible to do this with castor .. or any other XML framework? > > Thanks to share your knowledge with me :-) > > Any help will be appreciated. > > Thanks > /David > > > ------------------------------------------------- > If you wish to unsubscribe from this list, please > send an empty message to the following address: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ------------------------------------------------- > >
