Basically, unless you provide an addMethod in the mapping file, Castor XMl - for collection types - will by default use the getter method to obtain a reference to the collection and call the add() (for e.g. list and set types) method on the collection itself. Things change if you happen to provide an addMethod youself, which will 'force' Castor to use the addMethod given to insert elements into the collection. > > I'm using Castor 1.1 - should be bang up to date.

No, this should not make any difference, though there's one or two problems related to the use of namespaces when unmarshalling from a DOM node. > > Thanks! > Andy > > -- > Andy Buckley: CEDAR @ IPPP, Durham > Work: www.cedar.ac.uk > www.insectnation.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from this list please visit: > > http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
