Yes I assure you that is where I started but whilst laid out very well and seemingly nice and comprehensive, did not (as far as I could ascertain) deal with this scenario of adding the namespace to get things working in Spring. Nor does the Spring documentation regards Castor mention anything specific or concrete examples.
Instead I found an internet littered with so many people using Spring and Castor with similar issues and yet not finding solutions. I did end up trying adding namespaces to my mapping but it didn't work. I guess we'll need to look at xfire or jaxb to achieve this which is a shame, I liked the approach of Castor.
