Hi,
it looks like there's growing demand for being able to unmarshal from
AnyNode objects in one way or the other. Right now, I cannot offer you
any satisfying solution to your problem, but
a) we are aware of the problem.
b) We do have a possible solution in mind.
and
c) we are having quite some (slow) discussion about more sophisticated
approaches in the future.
The solution I have in mind right now would add an unmarshal(Class,
AnyNode) method to the Unmarshaller class, allowing to provide Castor
with a hint when streaming the AnyNode instance into Castor again.
