Brett,
I will be looking into this within a short time, but just out of
curiosity, what happens if you changed the isbn to to of type
element rather than attribute ?
Sure, I could go with something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<book>
<book-info>
<isbn>9780446618502</isbn>
</book-info>
<title>The Book of the Dead</title>
</book>
Then, the mapping would look like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapping PUBLIC "-//EXOLAB/Castor Mapping DTD Version 1.0//
EN" "http://castor.org/mapping.dtd";>
<mapping>
<class name="ibm.xml.castor.Book">
<map-to xml="book" />
<field name="Title" type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="title" />
</field>
<field name="Isbn" type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="isbn" node="element" location="book-info" />
</field>
</class>
</mapping>
Unfortunately, the result is the same:

Obviously, I could make isbn a child element of the book element, but
the idea here is to show how mapping works, so that sort of defeats
the purpose :-)
Thanks for your help.
Thanks
