Bruce,
Thanks very much. This does look very promising. I was wondering about
possibly having all elements. Forgive me for my newness to schema
creation, but I do have one last question related to the solution. In
the fixed up schema it has:
<xsd:element name="Owner" type="bulk:Party"/>
<xsd:element name="Registrant" type="bulk:Party"/>
<xsd:element name="Lienholder" type="bulk:Party"/>
All of which are of the same type. Just what I want. Except, there is
no ComplexType Party anymore. I get an invalid schema (at least that is
what XMLSpy tells me). Can an element refer to the element Party? What
would be the syntax.
This in combination with some tweaks in my binding file will work great.
Thanks much for your help and time.

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
