Hi Craig,
does a Parent instance really hold more than one instance of Child
objects ? Or does it just happen that there's a List<Child>, but there
will never be more than one instance is this list ?
In case there can be more than one Child instance in this List<Child>,
how would the resulting XML actually look like ?
Cheers
Werner

I was wondering if I could get some guidance on how to do the following:
I have a Class like so:
public class Parent {
private int id;
private String name;
private Collection children = new ArrayList();
//setters and getters
}
public class Child {
private int id;
private String name;
//setters and getters
}
I need Castor to marshal to an XML file like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<children>
<child>
<id>4321</id>
<name>Child 4321</name>
<parentId>1234</parentId>
<parentName>Parent 1234</parentName>
</child>
<child>
.
.
.
</child>
.
.
.
</children>
So essentially Castor will be given a list of "Parent"s which each contain a list of
"Child"ren. Instead of having Castor spit out the normal hierarchy, where a parent
contains a list of child object, I need castor to just iterate through all children of each parent
and spit out the child attributes with their associated parent attributes.
Hopefully I'm making sense (even if the reason why I'd want to do this remains
a mystery).
Thanks,
Craig.
