Thx. It worked. But I am lost on why this strange naming convention.
I am not sure why you consider this naming convention to be strange, but
here's a fragment from the default castor.properties file:
# Defines the Naming "style" or conventions to use when creating XML names
# from Java class or field names.
# Valid values are as follows:
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
# lower (default) | All names are lowercase with hyphens
# | separating words.
# |
# | Example: personInfo = person-info
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
# mixed | All names are mixed case, with Uppercase
# | character as the first letter of a new word.
# |
# | Example: personInfo = personInfo
# | Example: FooBar = fooBar
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
# {Any ClassName} | Any Class which implements
# | org.exolab.castor.xml.XMLNaming
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see there's various way for defining which naming style to
use for introspection. By fedault, its's the 'lowewr' style. Feel free
to change this to meet your requirements by overriding this property in
a custom castor property file.
I
am sure you have explained this many times. When I use source generator
with my xsd having an element as "BalanceInfo" it generates a class
called "BalanceInfo.java".
Well, as you are not generating the descriptor classes, you'll loose all
information as defined by the XML schema. In other words, if there's no
descriptor classes, Castor will (have to) fall back to 'introspection'.
I hope this explain the behaviour you are seeing.
In my case, I had to generate the source
using -nomarshall and -nodesc. This is because of GWT having problems
serializing castor classes etc.
Mind letting us know what actually is preventing from using the
descriptor classes ?
But I am not sure why Castor would
generate source as defined in xsd but then expect the element in the
actual xml to be different. Also what happens during marshalling ? I
will try it out.
Thx
