Actually, I want to use Castor to generate a bunch
of java bean classes that, once instantiated, can be manipulated with JXPath (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jxpath),
but JXPath relies on Collections as properties. Which seems fair enough as this
is the Java standard. If my sequences implemented List then I could use the
notation:
"/mySequence[3]/name"
to reference the name of the third object in my
sequence.
I take it that it is not that simple
then.
I can probably hack something together by extending
a super class, but I don't really want to do it with ALL types, just the
sequence ones.

Subject: Re: [castor-dev] Implementing
List
why exactly would you want a list for sequences? Why are
the get/set methods of every element in the sequence not enough?
Sometimes a sequence is exactly 6 elements. You would have to make
sure you always set element 5 to the right type or will get a runtime
exception later. Generating a List for a list makes sense, and in the
JAXB spec, they have a getList() rather than implementing List I believe(You
may want to verify with the JAXB spec)

Hi,
Is it possible to get Castor to generate
classes that implement java.util.List if that is appropriate (i.e. for
sequences)?
If so, how would I do it? If not, why not? How
difficult would it be to add?
Cheers,
Adam.
