Hi Werner et al, I managed to solve my problem by using the MappingTool (found here: http://www.castor.org/javadoc/org/exolab/castor/tools/MappingTool.html)
1) I generated a mapping file from the Java class that I was having trouble unmarshalling the array into. 2) I created a Marshaller to marshall the output of an instance of the class to XML. 3) I took this XML output and unmarshalled it back into the Java object. 4) I made tweaks to the namespaces in the mapping file since they were different for each element in the mapping file. For this to work correctly I had to set set namespace mappings on the marshaller using marshaller.setNamespaceMapping for each of my namespaces. It all works now as expected. Thanks again for steering me in the right direction. Regards, Kevin. On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 8:03 PM, Kevin Kilroy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Werner, > > Many thanks for your reply.
