Hi Thomas,
there's hooks for unmarshalling that allow you to intervene with
Castor's default unmarhalling behaviour. Have a look at the
UnmarshalListener
interface that allows you to deal with some situations. I am not sure,
though, whether this will meet your requirements.
Cheers

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?
Thanks,
Thomas
