Look at the castor.properties files.  Here is a snippet:
# True if xml documents should be validated by the SAX Parser
#
org.exolab.castor.parser.validation=false
org.exolab.castor.parser.namespaces=false

If you use .java files generated by the SourceGenerator,
you can use Castor schema validatoin, which is a lot faster than the parser's 
validation.
Use this property from the same file:
# True if all documents should be validated by the marshalling framework
#
org.exolab.castor.marshalling.validation=true


      >

      > where a user submits this 
      > document with namespace information e.g.
Look at the nspackages attribute in the castorbuilder.properties file:
# XML namespace mapping to Java packages
#
#org.exolab.castor.builder.nspackages=\
  http://www.xyz.com/schemas/project=com.xyz.schemas.project,\
  http://www.xyz.com/schemas/person=com.xyz.schemas.person

Again, this is if you use the SourceGenerator.
If you don't, the mapping file can help.
