Hey guys, Yes i have seen and read all the posts regarding this exception but for some reason cannot find the right answer so here's my scenario -
XML looks like the following <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <Order xmlns="http://www.company.org/ns/order/v3"> <Assignment> <Target>textHere</Target> <Other>...</Other> </Assignment> </Order> Mapping file looks like <mapping> <class name="org.company.OrderBean"> <map-to xml="Order" ns-prefix="myOrder" ns-uri="http://www.company.org/ns/rules/v3"/> <field name="MySets" type="org.company.MySetBean" collection="arraylist"> <bind-xml name="Assignment" /> </field> </class> <class name="org.company.MySetBean"> <map-to xml="Assignment" ns-prefix="myOrder" ns-uri="http://www.company.org/ns/rules/v3"/> <field name="Target" type="org.company.TargetBean"> <bind-xml name="Target"/> </field> </class> <class name="org.company.TargetBean" > <map-to ns-prefix="myOrder"/> <field name="Value" type="string"> <bind-xml node="text"/> </field> </class> ... </mapping> And finally the source code private void loadMetadata() throws IOException { final String FILE_NAME = "/Users/Desktop/test.xml"; FileInputStream is = null; try { is = new FileInputStream(FILE_NAME); MyObject object = (MyObject) this.castorMarshaller.unmarshal(new StreamSource(is)); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (XmlMappingException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } finally { if (is != null) { is.close(); } } } And here's the exception - org.springframework.oxm.UnmarshallingFailureException: Castor unmarshalling exception; nested exception is org.exolab.castor.xml.MarshalException: unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'Target' in ClassDescriptor of Assignment{File: [not available]; line: 4; column: 39} The castor Marshaller is defined in spring as <bean id="castorMarshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.castor.CastorMarshaller" > <property name="mappingLocation" value="classpath:properties/mappingMarshaller.xml" /> </bean> As previous posts mention if I remove the namespace from the xml i can successfully unmarshall.
