Castor should be able to work with Java 1.3 and above, so there should not be any needs to upgrade. If there's without me knowing it, I'd like to know about this ... ;-).
Wrt to your question, I assume that you know that there is not need to extract the castor.properties file from the JAR and place it on the CLASSPATH, as you can simple maintain a custom castor.properties, as long as youo put it on the CLASSPATH. Castor is capable of working with e.g. these two files, using whatever you specify in your custom file to override the defaults as set in the properties file shipped with Castor. Regards Werner PS Re: your xsi:type issue, are you trying to say that this is something that has changed, i.e. that worked with earlier versions of Castor ? ________________________________________ Von: Praveen Jani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 01.

Unfortunately, we are still on JDK 1.4 and I believe 1.1.1 would require us to upgrade JDK. However, I think I am just missing some pieces here. I introduced "org.exolab.castor.xml.nspackages" property in castor.properties and now Castor recognizes xsi:type="SomethingType" too. Now my question is, is it required to have this property in castor.proeprties to use XML name in xsi:type? Is there any other way, better way? I ask this because we never needed to onverride castor.properties before, and if this is the ONLY way, we will be forced to extract castor.properties out from jar, bring it in classpath .... please suggest.
