Saladin- You're right, as long as the parser that reads the mapping file isn't configured to validate, you don't need a namespace for the Castor portions of the mapping file. In my case I think I had configured the Castor parser via the castor.properties file, thus both the mapping file and the data file were validated, and therefore the mapping file had to have correct namespace declarations.

So far I have not declared a namespace for castor in the mapping file. I assume that it is not a requirement since the code works fine without declaring the castor namespace. -Saladin --- Stephen Bash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Saladin- > > Oops...
