Writing a Castor mapping.xml is not the problem. Doing that externally is
fairly trivial. The problem seems to be that the current CastorSerializer
and CastorDeserializer do not look for any kind of mapping file in the
classpath to allow for custom mappings. The process of registering
factories for a given TypeMapping does not allow for passing any kind of
initialization parameters to a Serializer or Deserializer. Since the
Castor Docs typically refer to the mapping by the name "mapping.xml",
perhaps the Castor impl of the serialization framework should look for a
custom mapping file named "mapping.xml" before deciding on the use of the
static Castor methods that run with the default Castor mapping. Ala:
...
Mapping mapping = new Mapping();
mapping.loadMapping( "mapping.xml" );
...
I have not confirmed this, but I find it highly
unlikely that the default Castor mappings will
work with JavaBeans generated from arbitrary XML
Schemas referenced in a WSDL <types> and run
through the WSDL2Java. Forgive my lack of faith
for things being that simple. :)

Please respond to
axis-user
take a look at the castor tests located at
castor\src\tests\MasterTestSuite\xml\mapping\
Just remember (this is the most common mistake) you can not use the static
methods of the marshaller if you are planning on assigning any mappings
etc...
http://castor.exolab.org/xml-mapping.html has all the info you need

Thanks for the envite Dims. If I can figure out how to write a
JiBXSerializer, JiBXSerializerFactory, JiBXDeserializer, and
JiBXDeserializerFactory, then I will certainly do that. The Castor ones
look to be pretty straight forward and don't seem to ask for any SOAP
message context data. However, I'd have to play with this a bit, I don't
see how one could define the Castor mapping with an XML file.
