Hi Werner,
I've only been able to map each pair key/value of an hashmap to a new
element, just like you mentioned.
It would be a great improvement to have a more flexible way of dealing
with hashmaps.
I would not mind helping you adding such a functionality , since I
would enjoy using Castor in my project.
Just tell me how I can be useful. Developing, debugging, suggesting ideas...
Regards,
Daniel Garrido
