[castor-user] Cannot cast to nested XML

[KURT PETERS]

I got castor to working [unmarshalling] with an "unnested" xml file, but when I 
nest the elements, it gives me an :error:
of: "Ignoring XXYY no descriptor was found" for anything under the main element 
"Build".
Here's the "simple" xml:
[code]
<MCM>

<Build>1

    <Add>2

        <MNode>1

            <Name>SiteA</Name>

            <Agent id="agent007">

                <Hostname>CentOSHost</Hostname>

            </Agent>

        </MNode>

    </Add>

</Build>

</MCM>
[/code]
it seems to find everything, but has a problem with "descriptors"... here's the 
TRACE output:
[code]
TRACE - #startElement: MCM
TRACE - #characters: 

TRACE - #startElement: Build
TRACE - #characters: 1
    
TRACE - #startElement: Add
TRACE - #characters: 2
        
TRACE - #startElement: MNode
TRACE - #characters: 1
            
TRACE - #startElement: Name
TRACE - #characters: SiteA
TRACE - #endElement: Name
INFO - Ignoring Name no descriptor was found
TRACE - #characters: 
            
TRACE - #startElement: Agent
TRACE - #characters: 
                
TRACE - #startElement: Hostname
TRACE - #characters: CentOSHost
TRACE - #endElement: Hostname
INFO - Ignoring Hostname no descriptor was found
TRACE - #characters: 
            
TRACE - #endElement: Agent
INFO - Ignoring Agent no descriptor was found
TRACE - #characters: 
        
TRACE - #endElement: MNode
INFO - Ignoring MNode no descriptor was found
TRACE - #characters: 
    
TRACE - #endElement: Add
INFO - Ignoring Add no descriptor was found
TRACE - #characters: 

TRACE - #endElement: Build
TRACE - #characters: 

TRACE - #endElement: MCM
[/code]

I've tried an amazing amount of variations on "location," including leaving it 
out and still, it doesn't map:
[code]
<mapping>
    <description>XML mapping of MANDI message will update for collection of 
nodes.</description>
    <!--  Class Mappings -->
    <class name="org.mitre.mandi.MandiConfigMessage">
        <map-to xml="MCM" />
        <field name="messageType" type="java.lang.String">
            <bind-xml name="Build" node="element" />
        </field>
        <field name="actionToTake" type="java.lang.String">
            <bind-xml name="Add" location="MCM/Build" node="text" />
        </field>
        <field name="nodeToWorkOn" type="org.mitre.mandi.MandiSite">
            <bind-xml name="MNode" location="MCM/Build/Add" node="element" />
        </field>
    </class>
    <class name="org.mitre.mandi.MandiSite">
        <field name="siteName" type="java.lang.String">
            <bind-xml name="Name" node="element" />
        </field>
        <field name="agentID" type="java.lang.String">
            <bind-xml name="id" location="agent" node="attribute" />
        </field>
        <field name="hostName" type="java.lang.String">
            <bind-xml name="Hostname" location="agent" node="element" />
        </field>
    </class>
</mapping>
[/code]


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
