Hmm, there's two options I can think of, both of them relying on the use of a binding file.
A) Make your class extend a custom base class, which happens to have a private member of the desired type. The problem with this might be how to make Castor realize that it should include this member with (un)marshalling. B) Simply add a new attribute named 'test' with some type (it simply does not matter), and override the type of this attribute with a custom type within a component binding for that attribute. I think option B) should meet your requirements. Regards Werner > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Dienstag, 30.
