i've just started using the castormapping subtask, but i have a few 
questions and suggestions.

-why are the @castor:field tags associated with methods and not the actual 
fields in the java class?  is it possible to have them associated with the 
fields instead?  reason being, when i first started using the tag, it was 
unclear whether the castor:field tag should be put before the getField() 
method or the setField() method.  seems like associating the tag with the 
field might be easier...?

-is anyone working on a template to generate the create_tables.sql (and 
drop_tables.sql)?

-related to the above suggestion/question of associating @castor:field tags 
with the java class' fields, is anyone working on a template/mechanism 
whereby another key=value could be added to the @castor:field tag like 
"createGetter=no" (default would be "yes") and "createSetter=no" (again, 
default would be "yes"), so that in one's original .java file, one would 
really only have to specify the class name, the fields (and its associated 
@castor:field tags), and any necessary *business* methods?  in other words, 
eliminate the need for writing the setters and getters altogether, and then 
have the subtask automatically generate new .java files with the 
automatically-generated (default) setters and getters...

thank you.
