Werner,
Thanks for your interest.
I'd fixed my problem, and it ends up being the same amount of code either way.
It might be the same amount of code, but in terms of code/run-time
efficiency, it does make a difference, indeed. The XMLContext class acts
like a big boot-strapping factory for everything else.
The only reason I posted was because when I googled the problem

That's odd, as I would think that the reference guide should show up in
Google search results as well.
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

Ouch .. ;-). This somehow hurts, especially if we think about the time
it takes to convert (old) Castor docs to what you see in the reference
guide (DocBook).

Hi Edward,
just wondering whether Lukas' advice enabled you o get past your problem ?
Cheers

Hello Ed,
indeed, this sounds not very intuitive to me either. From what I've learned, I
can recommend using the XMLContext as explained in [1] instead of instantiating
Marshaller and Unmarshaller manually. It was introduced to configure your
environment in a global manner so that it will be available to both Marshaller
and Unmarshaller (see [2]), (hopefully) independent of the order of
configuration.
Let us know, in case you experience the same behavior using XMLContext for
bootstrapping Castor!

Lukas

I wasn't able to find any help in the lists or anywhere else on this, and had
to debug into Castor to figure it out. I'm writing this for posterity. It may
belong in the faqs, or it might be a bug - other folks can judge this.
The following code WON'T work:
Marshaller m = new Marshaller(writer);
m.setProperty("org.exolab.castor.indent", "true");
m.marshal(sysCfg);
The reason is that the properties are interpreted when the output Writer is set
- in this case, in the constructor.
Instead, set the Writer AFTER setting the property, like so:
Marshaller m = new Marshaller();
m.setProperty("org.exolab.castor.indent", "true");
m.setWriter(writer);
m.marshal(sysCfg);
