Sorry Simon ;-) after I've sent my mail I saw my mistake...
as for your problem: the best practice you've used is outdated for 1.3 you should use something like XMLContext ctx = new XMLContext(); ctx.addMapping(mapping); Unmarshaller u = ctx.createUnmarshaller() u.... You can create as many Unmarshaller instances as you like from the XMLContext - it will reuse the mapping information read. It is no longer the ClassDescriptorResolver yopu should 'reuse' but the XMLContext. I remeber the documentation you reference to.. but I think it isn't online any longer... the XMLContext way of doing things is described in: http://www.castor.org/reference/html-single/index.html#d0e278 hth Joachim 2008/11/26 Simon Godard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi Joachim, > > My name is Simon :) > > I've attached the code snippet you requested.
