Hi Ross,
The source generator can generate more Castor-JDO friendly code by doing
a few things.
1. Enable the extra collection methods by uncommenting the following
line
from castorbuilder.properties (or adding it to your local copy)
# Set to true if you want the generated source code to contain
# Extra methods for the collection fields, such as get/set using
# the collection type in addition to the type-safe array.
# Set this to true if you want your code to be more compatible
# with Castor JDO. This is false by default.
#
#org.exolab.castor.builder.extraCollectionMethods=true
2. The next step is to specify the Persistent interface, this can
be done a couple ways:
2.1 Either specify a base class (that in turn implements the
Persistent interface)
using castorbuilder.properties. This can be done with the current
Castor
version or older versions.
-or-
2.2 Grab the CVS version of Castor and use a binding file that
specifies at
fine grain level the interfaces to implement for each class.
There is an
of using a binding file in the examples/SourceGenerator
directory. For
the complete schema for the binding file see bug #882
(http://bugzilla.exolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=882)
Hope that helps,
--Keith
