Hi, I am not sure whether this is actually possible without creating separate (container) classes for <Data1> and <Data2>. When Castor XML marshalls your Person instance, at runtime it walks through all the field descriptors and outputs the XML (corresponding to the definitions in your mapping file). And it really does *not* preserve any state between these individual actions for one field descriptor.
