[castor-user] Problem setting configuration programmatically

[John Huss]

What is the proper way to set the XML_NAMING property programmatically,
without a properties file?

I have this code:

    public static User unmarshalUser(final java.io.Reader reader)
        throws MarshalException, ValidationException {

        XMLContext context = new XMLContext();
        context.setProperty(XMLConfiguration.XML_NAMING,
"com.ics.xml.MixedCapitalizedXMLNaming");

        Unmarshaller unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();
        unmarshaller.setClass(User.class);
        User user = (User) unmarshaller.unmarshal(reader);
        return user;
    }

It doesn't work because the XML_NAMING property is not being set properly.
If I comment out the line

          //context.setProperty(XMLConfiguration.XML_NAMING,
"com.ics.xml.MixedCapitalizedXMLNaming");

And add a castor.properties file with the line:

          org.exolab.castor.xml.naming=com.ics.xml.MixedCapitalizedXMLNaming

Then it works.

Thanks for your help,
John
