Hi,
Thanks for your reply. What I do not understand is why it preserves the
structure of the XML when I only use elements and when using attributes it
don´t. For example, if using the following xml it don´t duplicate elements,
i get the same output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Person>
<Data1>
<Data2>
<Surname>Garcia</Surname>
<Data3>
<Name>Ander</Name>
</Data3>
</Data2>
</Data1>
</Person>

Asunto: AW: [castor-user] [XML] attribute marshalling with location is
duplicating elements
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.
Regards
Werner
