So it seems like you don't want to expose the Vector to Castor, but want Castor to use the Iterator during marshalling, correct ?
If that's the case, can you please have a look at http://castor.org/xml-mapping.html#3.4-The-%3Cfield%3E-element in general, and at the sub-section entitled 'Exceptions concerning collection fields:' in particular. There it should tell you that you can use methods that return 'java.util.Iterator' as a getter method as long as the method name starts with an 'iterate' prefix and you specify the method name through the <field>'s get-method attribute.
