Thanks Werner for the reply. Castor marshalling does not generate xml for primitive types if their set method is not called even though they have default values.
Castor generates _has Boolean members for primitive types whose value is set to true when set method is called on the primitive members. But the same logic is not used for non primitive types. Probably it checks for null when marshalling for objects and checks for _has member for primitive types. So, my requirement of not generating the xml for member objects who have default values but not their set methods are not called can be met if Castor follows the same logic of having _has members for these non primitive members and checking _has during marshalling Is there any way I can do this?

In theory, you could implement a custom FieldHandler, but I doubt you'd have enough information to distinguish between whether a real value has been set or not.
