I think there is a bug with the auto-complete="true", with the auto-completed fields not propagating the namespace set on the class.
I have an xml mapping for a class which I have set auto-complete="true" on as follows: <class name="com.foo.ContractLookupDto" auto-complete="true"> <map-to xml="getContractRequest" ns-uri="http://example.com/services/"/> </class> The ContractLookupDto class contains a field 'contractId'. When clients send xml to my unmarshaller it fails to unmarshal with the following error: Castor unmarshalling exception: unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'contractId' in ClassDescriptor of getContractRequest. When trying to debug, I created a ContractDto sample and marshalled it to see what xml it produced. I then noticed that when it auto-completes the fields for my class, they have xmlns="" on them, which explains why xml sent from the client fails. This looks like a bug with the auto-complete implementation. As a workaround, I found that after changing my mapping to <class name="com.foo.ContractLookupDto" auto-complete="true"> <map-to xml="getContractRequest" ns-uri="http://example.com/services/"/> <field name="contractId"/> </class> Now my ContractDto sample marshalls to xml correctly (i.e. without the xmlns="") and clients can successfully send xml. It would be great if someone could look into this bug, as I think it significantly reduces the value of the auto-complete option. Thanks.
