Saladin- Well that's an interesting problem. I'm surprised that (if it was going to fail) it failed that far into the tree and not somewhere earlier (like on the root element or the first child of the root). Unfortunately I don't have a good Castor debugging setup handy any more so I can't test the scenario locally... I'll have to think about that one.

Stephen, I tried your suggestion, but I get the following error: org.xml.sax.SAXException: unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'CRITERIAID' in ClassDescriptor of CRITERIAINPUT at org.exolab.castor.xml.UnmarshalHandler.startElement(UnmarshalHandler.java:1924) at org.exolab.castor.xml.UnmarshalHandler.startElement(UnmarshalHandler.java:1362) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(Unknown Source) I followed the same steps that you outlined, except for setting the xsd validation (i.e. specifing the external-schema-location feature on the SAX parser). I did not do that one step, as I wanted to make sure that the Unmarshalling works with using the SAX parser and the UnmarshalHandler before even trying to do any XSD schema validation. The following is the code that I tried: // load castor mapping file Mapping map = new Mapping(); map.loadMapping(mappingPath); // Create an instance of Castor's unmarshaller Unmarshaller unmarshaller = new Unmarshaller(RunDvpRequestVO.class); unmarshaller.setMapping(map); // Create a Reader to the input file that is to be unmarshalled from Reader reader = new FileReader(inputFilePath); // Create content handler for Castor's Unmarshaller UnmarshalHandler unmarshalHandler = unmarshaller.createHandler(); XMLReader xmlReader = new org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser(); xmlReader.setContentHandler(unmarshalHandler); xmlReader.setErrorHandler(unmarshalHandler); xmlReader.parse(new InputSource(reader)); Object obj = unmarshalHandler.getObject(); The exception gets thrown when the xmlReader.parse(...) method is called. Note: just to make sure that I was not getting the error because of a problem with the input xml or the Castor mapping file, I tried unmarshalling using straight Castor unmarshalling code (see below) and it works fine with any errors: // load castor mapping file Mapping map = new Mapping(); map.loadMapping(mappingPath); // Create an instance of Castor's unmarshaller Unmarshaller unmarshaller = new Unmarshaller(RunDvpRequestVO.class); unmarshaller.setMapping(map); // Create a Reader to the input file to unmarshal from Reader reader = new FileReader(inputFilePath); // Unmarshall the input xml into a value object RunDvpRequestVO runDvpRequest = (RunDvpRequestVO) unmarshaller.unmarshal(reader); -Saladin --- Werner Guttmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Actually, didn't know about this .. ;-).
