Ok, but I also should have mentioned that I'm working the straight
objects generated by the xsd here outside of castor itself. Currently
I dont think I have a way to generate the ClassMapping itself and work
with that. I am generating the schema Class object, and tried putting
that in there too, to no avail.
Also, when marshalling I simply call mapping.unmarshall(writer). So
all of the stuff here is source-generated.
So the question I guess is, can you use the mapping.xsd gnerated files
by themselves to generate a valid mapping file. I noticed that depends
is the same as extends but have not tried that out yet, but assume I
will run into the same type of thing.
Any ideas? or perhaps need some more info from my end?
