I also have a requirement to create an instance of an object with an element node as a parameter to the constructor. I know version 0.9.5 has capabilities to specify an attribute-mapped element as an argument to the constructor. This is documented in the Castor website.
I searched the archives and saw that there is a workaround for constructors with arguments (for elements). The workaround mentions using a Wrapper Object and Field Handler. Can someone post an example of how to do this?

I assumed all it needs to to is fetching the values with the getter methods.
