Hi, If you don't provide a mapping for all classes involved, Castor XML will use an introspector approach for all classes not mapped (using some default naming conventions for working out member names etc.).
To be honest, the error message 'unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'gateway' in ClassDescriptor of gateway' somehow does not make sense, but this might be a result of working in that 'mixed' mode. Regards Werner Guttmann PS If you do not intend to provide a separate Java class (and a mapping) for the <config> element, you might want to consider the use of the location attribute (if applicable). > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Jon Wilmoth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 29.
