Thanks Werner and Matthias. I guess the real solution would be to treat Java 5 Enums as special kinds of 'enum beans' - without constructors and setters (so unmarshalling is not possible) but everything else should be as normal as getters are available for the rest of what I want. For now I'll just have to create a 'class bean' and I can easily marshall a list of that.
Look forward to 1.1.3, specially cos I'm waiting on some thread-safety fixes you guys have! Keep up the good work.

Please bear with me. This is one of the areas where you might suffer from a mismatch between two technologies: OO programming languages and XML. But let's defer discussions for the time being. > > > I'm actually using the 1.1.2 release. I have push this out to our > production environment in a month so cant use snapshots. Given that we have fixed a few things with Java 5 enum support, and added a few features, I don't think that this can be done with any other code that SVN trunk. Given your deployment schedule, I think you might be lucky there, as I am planning to make a new release available within two or three weeks. > > Thanks > Rahul > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Werner Guttmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 3:04 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [castor-user] Marshalling Java 5 Enum > > Hi, > > What's the output you'd expect from marshalling ?
