Hi!

I have followed the HOW-TO instructions about wrapping a collection within a
wrapper element .by setting the container attribute of the castor field
element to false.
Nice!!  I am can wrap all occurrences of some type into one single
collection element in XML :-)

But there is one drawback, unfortunately. I don't have control in the
element name of one occurrence within a collection wrapper element.

i.e.

public class Company {

        //properties, interpret in terms of getter and setter
        name
        street
}

Castor class mapping:

<class name="Company" ....>
        <map-to name="company"/>
        // mapping for each property (straight forward)
</class>



public class MarketWatchDog {

        // properties
        List<Company> getCompanies(){...}

}

Castor class mapping for MarketWatchDog:

<class name="MarketWatchDog" ....>
        <map-to name="market-watch-dog" />
        // mapping for each property (straight forward)
        <field name="companies"
                 collection="arraylist"
                 container="false"
                 type="Company">

                <bind-xml name="companies" />
        </field>
</class>


When marshalling I get the following XML structure:

....
....
<market-watch-dog>
        <companies>
                <company>
                        <name>Acme</name>
                        <street>Penn avenue</street>
                </company>
                <company>
                        <name>Minisoft</name>
                        <street>Jupiter avenue</street>
                </company>
        </companies>
</ market-watch-dog>
....
....
....


What I want, is to rename the element name "company" to "potential-company".
Example: 

....
....
<market-watch-dog>
        <companies>
                <potential-company>
                        <name>Acme</name>
                        <street>Penn avenue</street>
                </potential-company>
                <potential-company>
                        <name>Minisoft</name>
                        <street>Jupiter avenue</street>
                </potential-company>
        </companies>
</ market-watch-dog>
....
....
....

Apparantly Castor uses the bind name of the class declared in the field
element.
Is there a way to let Castor know I want to use "potential-company" instead
of "company" as element name for each collection item like the example
above?

Kind Regards,
