Ralf, just managed to unmarshal the following XML instance against the classes generated with the XML code generator (using 'type' mode, though).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <StrategyTest> <Input xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:type="String"> <Svalue>Test</Svalue> </Input> </StrategyTest> Please note the additional attribute xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; on the <Input> element. I hope this helps. Werner PS In case this is not clear, I have *not* used the mapping file Ralf Rausch wrote: > Dear Castor Users, > > > > I created the below-mentioned xml files.
