Subramanian If you use collection="arrayList" (or whatever) then the mapping file knows that it is multivalued and sets the value. One issue seems to be that the values are expected to be in an object array when they are still in a enumeration - thus ClassCastException Glen

I went through the code and found that the support for IDREFS is there. It is enabled if you mark a field descriptor as multivalued. But there is no way to set this flag using a mapping file. So if you can modify the Castor code you need not flatten your xml. Hope this helps.

I am trying to get IDREFS to work, but without any luck as I end up with a class cast exception when the code tries to generate the IDREFS. I have an object Size, which contains a list of SizeDescriptions. I am intending to flatten this (would rather not but that is not my decision). For example. <snip> <SIZE ID="101" key="1" sizeDescriptions="12 14"/> <SIZE-DESCRIPTION ID="12" size="101 info="stuff"/> <SIZE-DESCRIPTION ID="14" size="101 info="stuff"/> <snip> Am I trying to reach too far on this? Is this possible in the current version (using snaphot from cvs of 18th March 2002) Thanks Glen I am using the following mapping file: <!DOCTYPE mapping PUBLIC "-//EXOLAB/Castor Mapping DTD Version 1.0//EN" "http://castor.exolab.org/mapping.dtd";> <mapping> <!-- Mapping for Size --> <class name="exit41.mumi.persist.Size" identity="id"> <description>Size Reference Class</description> <map-to table="Sizes" xml="SIZE"/> <field name="id" type="integer" required="true"> <bind-xml name="key" node="attribute"/> </field> <field name="description" type="exit41.mumi.persist.SizeDescription" collection="arraylist" required="false"> <bind-xml name="sizeDescriptions" node="attribute" reference="true"/> </field> </class> <!-- Mapping for SizeDescription --> <class name="exit41.mumi.persist.SizeDescription" depends="exit41.mumi.persist.Size" identity="idref"> <description>NLS support for Sizes</description> <map-to table="NLSSizes" xml="SIZE-DESCRIPTION"/> <field name="idref" type="string" get-method="getIDREF"> <bind-xml name="ID" node="attribute"/> </field> <field name="size" type="exit41.mumi.persist.Size" required="true"> <bind-xml name="sizeID" node="attribute" reference="true"/> </field> </class> </mapping> Glen Edwards Elm Square Interactive/Exit41 Three Dundee Park Andover, MA 01810 978-933-7464 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev
