First what version of castor are you using? Hard to help with the first problem (npe) with out knowing the specifics.
For the other ones, these are both configured in the castor.properties file in the castor jar. They are commented in there, one for 'pretty' printing and the other controls the rule for primitives to be marshalled as attributes or nested tags. Hope this helps! -Nick On 6/16/05, Israel, Kirk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there... > I've inherited a bit of a situation here. > > We've been using castor as quick(-and-too-dirty, or so it seems now) way > of doing serialization--so our QA people could more easily build up a > library of hand-editable test objects > > We're having an internal update of our product, and so, potentially, a > lot of things have changed.
