Hello, using a code like:
StringWriter st = new StringWriter(); marshaller.marshal(object , st); String xml = st.toString(); tells Castor to retrieve the mapping information (how Java structures are mapped to XML structures) through reflection of the 'object' instance. If you want to influence the mapping e.g. by using a mapping file you should use something like: XXMLContext ctx = new XMLContext(); ctx.addClass(Xy.class); // or ctx.addMapping(loadedMapping); Marshaller marshaller = ctx.createMarshaller(); StringWriter st = new StringWriter(); marshaller.setWriter(st); marshaller.marshal(object); String xml = st.toString(); the method you used is a static method that uses a new Marshaller instance with default settings! Hope this helps Joachim 2008/10/21 Baba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi Joshua, > > i use the same way to marshaling the java classes to string but in my > case it's work. > > You are light on information about how you unmarshal your XML into > java classes.
