Werner, Thanks for your interest. I'd fixed my problem, and it ends up being the same amount of code either way. The only reason I posted was because when I googled the problem I saw that other people had run into it, and I couldn't find any posted solution.
Re John Shott's problem of today: I did the same thing, the first time I needed to a castor.properties file. It comes from having low expectations of (any) documentation, and just looking at the code and emulating what I/we think I/we see. So I didn't even bother to look at the docs - just saw where the file apparently (and incorrectly) belongs, and doing the same. -Ed -----Original Message----- From: Werner Guttmann [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 4:03 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Lukas Lang Subject: Re: [castor-user] How to set org.exolab.castor.indent, et al, on a single Marshaller. Hi Edward, just wondering whether Lukas' advice enabled you o get past your problem ?
