I'm using castor to simplify import of data into our system. Currently the xml file contains a load of entities, each having an id, and uses refs so that entities can refer to each other without needing to be nested.
What I'd like to do is also have the ability to reference other objects which aren't in the xml file. (Eg are already in the database or perhaps some globals). Ie if I do <Foo ref="123"/> it will reference another entity with id "123" (current behaviour) But if I do <Foo externalref="123"/> it will call through to some code which can fetch object "123" and return it. Is there any easy way to do this?
