Castor can't handle the case when you want only 1 of the fields to be an
idref but all the other ones to be full elements.
The following should work to get your idref to be output, but all
friends will be output as IDREF.
<class name="Person" identity="id">
<field name="friend" type="Person" reference="true">
<bind-xml location="friend" name="idref" node="attribute"/>
</field>
</class>
