Daniel- I believe when Castor sees the reference="true" attribute, it *assumes* the object will be marshalled elsewhere in the document. This causes Castor to only produce a reference, and not fully marshal the child object. To force your keys to be fully marshalled, I believe they will have to appear outside of the DeviceModel objects. A quick solution that might work is create a heterogeneous Collection that includes all the keys and models then marshal that Collection.
