Sorry was meaning to follow up, I figured out a solution by creating a mapping like so:
<class name="java.util.ArrayList" auto-complete="true"> <map-to xml="array-list" /> </class> Actually I believe it was "true" for auto-complete, I'm typing from memory. If not, it was false :) Craig On Aug 14, 2010 5:16 PM, "Werner Guttmann" <[email protected]> wrote: > Craig, > > can you provide me with a test case, pretty please (by raising a Jira > ticket). > > Thanks > Werner > > On 12.08.2010 23:56, Craig Tataryn wrote: >> When you marshal a list in Castor to XML you typically get XML with a top level node of<array-list>.

I'm using Castor along with Spring, so its really the Spring OXM version of the Castor (un)mashaller, I mention this only because the marshaller is being used in a "generic" way, thus I wouldn't really have insight on a case per case basis to know when to create the unmarshaller by passing an ArrayList.class to it's constructor >> >> Craig. >> >> -- >> Craig Tataryn >> site: http://www.basementcoders.com/ >> podcast: http://www.basementcoders.com/?feed=podcast >> itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/the-basement-coders >> irc: ThaDon on freenode #basementcoders, ##wicket, #papernapkin >> twitter: craiger >> >> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: > > http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email > >
