Stephen, Thanks for the response. SourceGenerator is creating the attributes as the object type i.e. Long rather than long.
In my castor_builder.properties file I'm setting the org.exolab.castor.builder.primitivetowrapper=true. If this wasn't set the attributes would be generated as primitives. Given that the attributes are the object type and the xsd specifies the nillable attribute I would assume castor would leave things as null unless it is passed a specific value. Is this something I need to create a JIRA for? Or am I just missing some fundamental setting?

If you look at the generated classes, does the class contain a long or a Long? It appears there is a SourceGenerator option ("asWrapper" in the code, not sure how it is specified to the SourceGenerator) to make Castor use primitive wrapper objects rather than the primitives themselves. If a primitive wrapper is used I could see Castor setting the value to null, but with a true primitive, I think 0 is the best it can do... Don't know if that is any help at all, but I hope it accomplishes something :) Stephen On 4/9/06, Greg Garson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I can see some discussion on this in the mailing archive but it doesn't > seem to answer my question.
