Hi,
I think things are getting clearer, but I'd like to see some (pseudo)
code in terms of calls into the Marshaller before looking into this in
more detail. Would that be an option ?
Cheers

Hi,
Your observation is correct. But I was trying to seek a way without
unmarshalling and re-marshalling as the xml would deal with thousands of
method call inputs. Unmarshaling such huge data and filling the list could
put memory constraints.
My scenario is as follows:
I have some 6 methods that could be called n number of times in any order at
any point of time in a day. I have to marshal the inputs from the method
called onto the xml. Suppose that method 1 is called in the start of the day
and it's object has been already marshaled into xml.
By overwriting what I meant was that when method 2 is called later, simply
marshal(method2 object) would result in loss of method 1 's data in the xml
as castor is making a fresh write of method 2's object onto the xml. Hence I
wanted to know if I could simply append method 2's object without disturbing
the already written method 1 object. (mapping.xml covers mapping for all the
methods)
Please let me know if this is still not clear. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
can you please elaborate a bit more on what you are trying to do ? It
simply is not clear to me what you are trying to achieve.
A few observations:
a) In order to be able to process the list of items in code, you first
need to unmarshal from the XML (using Unmarshaller).
b) Once you've got your object (instance) hierarchy, you can modify the
list's content using any of the methods of java.util.List.
c) Once you are done with your modifications, simply marshal your object
instance(s) to XML.
In your question you are referring to 'and not overwrite the existing
content'. That statement does not make any sense to me.

Hi, I have an xml file generated by marshaling a java class (using Castor
mapping). The class contains a list of items. As and when the list gets
filled up I would like to APPEND the new data in the class to the already
marshaled xml file (and not overwrite the existing contents of the
marshaled
xml file). Can this be done using Castor? If yes how can it be achieved?
Thanks.
