Hmm ... let me try to understand one thing here. When you have used the
XML code generator, you have turned off creastion of descriptor classes
and turned on creation of a mapping file, correct ? If that's the case,
why ? It should be the other way around. See below .....
Please note, that a binding file is something completely different.
The term 'binding file' is used in the context of code generation to
overcome naming collisions.

Assuming that you have generated source code (including descriptor
classes, that is) from your XML schema, here's what you have to do to
marshal an object instance to XML.
<code>
XMLContext context = new XMLContext();
Marsdaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();
YourObject yourObject = .... ;
marshaller.marshal(yourObject);
</code>
If (and only if) you have the descriptor classes on your classpath,
Castor will just marshal XML according to your definitions in your XMl
schema.
Does this make sense ?
