But that does not match what you are declaring in your object model when
seen in conjunction with the relevant mapping.
You define *one* collection of Strings only. This collection is meant to
hold all occurences of data that are mapped to the value attribute. The
fact that you are using a location prefix (texts/text in the original
fragment) just indicates that you want a slightly more complex XML layout.
Let's have a look at a simplified XML where there's no location prefix.
You are defining a Java member 'texts' that is capable of storing a
collection of Strings. In the <bind-xml> declaration, you are
instruction Castor to bind this to an attribute named 'value'.
Taking just this definition, you'd be able to to e.g. unmarshall XML as
follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1251"?>
<test value="Hello with Spaces"/>
The attribute could occur once only (as per definition), and within the
attribute you'd be able to enlist one or many Strings.
The fact that you are adding a location prefix (texts/text) introduces
additional XML artifacts, and in my opinion breaks the contract defined
by the original attribute definition (multivalued, attribute node).
I hope this makes sense.
