well, the data model is mapped via hibernate so it's not easily modifyable.
my current solution uses xmlbeans and takes what that generates and moves it
to the hibernate data model objects. it's a lot of code moving crap back and
forth (and xmlbeans is buggy) so i was hoping i could get get castor to sit
in the middle of what i have. i could see what castor generates and maybe
coerce that into something hibernate likes i guess
my big goal is to use castor underneath spring OXM, as i said. that is going
to slot in nicely to spring-batch, and my whole bulk loading processing may
end up being almost all configuration. that'd be so sweet.
by the way, after i posted i read a bit more and thought i'd found the
solution in container=false. but that isn't acting as i expected (meaning i
am feeling a bit thick right now)
thanks!
