Hi all, I am trying to use Castor 1.0M4 as my binding framework inside of XFire 1.2.6 but I am running into a namespace problem. I can reproduce the problem using Castor 1.1 which is what I will describe now. I have a Castor mapping file that defines the mapping for a class "order.Order" in the "http://order" namespace. This order has an orderNumber and 2 names. The names are of type "common.Name" which is in the "http://common" namespace. The mapping file looks as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mapping> <class name="order.Order"> <map-to xml="order" ns-uri="http://order" ns-prefix="order"/> <field name="orderNumber" type="integer"> <bind-xml name="order-number" node="element"/> </field> <field name="sellerName" type="common.Name"> <bind-xml name="seller-name" node="element"/> </field> <field name="buyerName" type="common.Name"> <bind-xml name="buyer-name" node="element"/> </field> </class> <class name="common.Name"> <map-to xml="name" ns-uri="http://common" ns-prefix="common"/> <field name="firstName" type="java.lang.String"> <bind-xml name="first-name" node="element"/> </field> <field name="lastName" type="java.lang.String"> <bind-xml name="last-name" node="element"/> </field> </class> </mapping> When I create an instance of Order and pass in an orderNumber and 2 names, Castor generates the following XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <order:order xmlns:order="http://order"> <order:order-number>1234</order:order-number> <common:seller-name xmlns:common="http://common"> <common:first-name>Bob</common:first-name> <common:last-name>Smith</common:last-name> </common:seller-name> <common:buyer-name xmlns:common="http://common"> <common:first-name>Fred</common:first-name> <common:last-name>Peterson</common:last-name> </common:buyer-name> </order:order> The problem is that I cannot generate an XML schema for this (I want a schema for my common types and another for the order). If my seller-name and buyer-name complex types use the "type" attribute to specify my common Name type, then the namespace of seller-name and buyer-name should be "order" and not "common". If my complex types use the "ref" attribute to point to a Name element in my common schema, then I cannot change the name of the element from "name" to "buyer-name" and "seller-name". Please let me know if I am missing something and there is a way to have Castor generate XML in such a way that I can break out the schemas. I am happy to reply back with the schema I would like to use but I did not want to clutter up this initial email. Thank you, Josh
