Questions:
a) What does your mapping look like ?
b) What does the input XML document look like ?

Not to my knowledge.

Castor should always call the setter on your property (if it is defined
and public), through the corresponding FieldHandler. Unless the property
is defined to be 'direct', where Castor will directly access the field.
I have tried direct="false" on the field element, but to no avail.
Please do not use mapping constructs which you do not fully understand.
A usage of the direct attribute in your context does *not* make sense at
all.
