A colleague suggested that I might be able to work around the problem by changing the schema from: ---------------------------------------- small2.xsd <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <xs:element name="parameters"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:element name="thing" type="xs:string"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> ---------------------------------------- small2.xsd to: ---------------------------------------- small2a.xsd <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <xs:element name="parameters"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="thing" type="xs:string" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> ---------------------------------------- small2a.xsd i.e., moving the "unboundedness" from the sequence to the element inside. This works, and (moreover) is applicable to the rather more complex schema that I am trying to work with (and without a mapping file being needed). So the lesson appears to be: if you want an unbounded sequence, the simplest thing to do is to instead introduce an intermediate element, and make *that* unbounded instead, since Castor treats those very nicely.
