Greg, I'm using Castor 0.9.9.1
Also, I have my defaultBindingType set to "element", as follows: <binding xmlns="http://www.castor.org/SourceGenerator/Binding"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.castor.org/SourceGenerator/Binding binding.xsd" defaultBindingType="element"> Patty -----Original Message----- From: Greg Garson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 12:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [castor-user] XML - Question / Problems around 'extends' element of the binding.xsd Thanks for this Patty, I'll try it out. Can you tell me which version of Castor you're currently using?

I have all my generated classes extend from a pre-defined class. My binding definition is set up similar to the following, using elementBinding instead of complexTypeBinding, and it's working for me: <elementBinding name="/ChildClass"> <java-class name="ChildClass"> <extends>com.xxx.SuperClass </extends> </java-class> </elementBinding> My generated classes end up defined like this: public class ChildClass extends com.xxx.SuperClass implements java.io.Serializable public class ChildClassDescriptor extends org.exolab.castor.xml.util.XMLClassDescriptorImpl Hope this helps...

The Source Generation Documentation seems to be a little ambiguous on this. Secondly, if this has been implemented can someone explain its purpose? I assumed it was to be used as a fine-grained method to allow me to have a single generated class extend a handwritten class. However with some testing it seems that the Source Generator assumes that the class I provide was generated as part of the Source Generation process. An example of this is if I specific the following binding: <binding xmlns="http://www.castor.org/SourceGenerator/Binding"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.castor.org/SourceGenerator/Binding ./binding.xsd" defaultBindingType="type"> <complexTypeBinding name="AccountSearchFilter"> <java-class> <extends>package.SearchFilter</extends> </java-class> </complexTypeBinding> </binding> Source Generator will create the following source files: AccountSearchFilter.java AccountSearchFilterDescriptor.java As such AccountSearchFilter.java contains the following: public class AccountSearchFilter extends package.SearchFilter which is what I'm looking for, however AccountSearchFilterDescriptor.java contains: public class AccountSearchFilterDescriptor extends package.SearchFilterDescriptor Given that SearchFilter is a hand coded class there is no SearchFilterDescriptor file. Am I missing something here? Any pointers or clues would be appreciated, also to note I have tried using the org.exolab.castor.builder.superclass property, however this isn't fine grained enough for my current needs.
