Mauricio, AFAIK, there is no manner in which to coax Castor into using the keys as elements in the marshalled XML. Below is some info regarding the mapping of Hashtable, HashMap and Map fields taken from the following page: http://www.castor.org/xml-mapping.html 'For hashtable and maps (since 0.9.5.3), Castor will save both key and values. When marshalling output <key> and <value> elements. These names can be controlled by using a top-level or nested class mapping for the org.exolab.castor.mapping.MapItem class. Note: for backward compatibility with prior versions of Castor, the saveMapKeys property can be set to false in the castor.properties file. For versions prior to 0.9.5.3, hashtable and maps, Castor will save only the value during marshalling and during unmarshalling will add a map entry using the object as both the key and value, e.g. map.put(object, object). ' See also the Nested Class Mapping info on the same page but a different section: http://www.castor.org/xml-mapping.html#3.5-The-%3Cbind-xml%3E-element HTH.
