Hi Travis, Shouldn't the "location" attribute for policyPrefix bind-xml be "Number" instead "Name"? I see that you use "location" for each field starting with the root but in my experience you only need it for places like Policy-Prefix where you want to ignore the Number element.
Hope that helps, Josh ----- Original Message ---- From: travis fritts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 4:52:40 PM Subject: [castor-user] Castor XML: Strange behavior while mapping xml elements I am getting the following error while trying to map just one specific xml element. Other more complex elements map correctly.
