Heiko - Actually, this is a really nice place to start understanding the castor code base. Take a look at org.exolab.castor.builder.CollectionInfo - especially #createAccessMethods... what I've done is subclass CollectionInfo and extended this method to provide the additional functionality that I wanted. You can then create an extension of FieldInfoFactory that uses your CollectionInfo class for source generation (there is a property in castor.properties where you specify this class)...
Good luck!

I would suggest to support access methods like Iterator get<Name> () add<Name> (<Type> value) Haven't found anything in the docs. Sorry for not implementing it myself, but since I'm pretty new to Castor, I don't want to dive right into the product's core at this point.
