Well, to keep a long story short, there was a bug with InternalContext that prevented setting some of those properties programmaticly and prevented propagation from XMLContext to Un-/Marshaller. To my knowledge, that has been fixed with Castor 1.3.

Oh lord .... how come not a single user did raise any concerns when we *publicly* asked about three months ago about our desire to upgrade to Java 5.0. Having said that, there might be ways to *maybe* release Castor 1.2.1 on specific request. But to be honest, given our questions months ago, this will be very hard to argue (non-commercially). > Op1Request op = new Op1Request(); op.setArg1(12345); > > Marshaller marshaller = new Marshaller(new > OutputStreamWriter(System.out)); > marshaller.setProperty("org.exolab.castor.xml.introspector.primitive.nodetype", > "element"); marshaller.setProperty("org.exolab.castor.xml.naming", > "mixed"); marshaller.setProperty("org.exolab.castor.indent", "true"); > marshaller.marshal(op); > > And I get the following output showing that the properties are not > taken into account: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <op1-request arg1="12345"/> > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: > > http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
