Paul, Please see the docs on Class Creation/Mapping available here: http://www.castor.org/sourcegen.html#Class-Creation/Mapping In order to get what you want, your schema needs to be defined to facilite this. By wrapping your <complexType>s in an <element> you should get what you want. Below is the fixed up schema that should work for you: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:bulk="urn:trivininc.com/bulk" targetNamespace="urn:trivininc.com/bulk" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <xsd:element name="VehicleTitle"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="Owner" type="bulk:Party"/> <xsd:element name="Registrant" type="bulk:Party"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:element name="Lien"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:all> <xsd:element name="LienID" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="Lienholder" type="bulk:Party"/> </xsd:all> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:element name="Party"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:all> <xsd:element name="LastName" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="FirstName" type="xsd:string"/> </xsd:all> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> </xsd:schema> HTH Bruce -- perl -e 'print unpack("u30","<0G)[EMAIL PROTECTED]&5R\"F9E<G)E=\$\!F<FEI+F-O;0\`\`");' The Castor Project http://www.castor.org/ Apache Geronimo http://geronimo.apache.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev
