Thanks Werner, Your answer confirms my observations. The XSD schema does determine element ordering, but it is not used to validate the XML during marshalling.
This is not a problem, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something!

This will basically allow for validation at the object level before marshalling your object instance(s) to XML will commence. Having said that, this mostly makes sense in the context of generated classes only, where the XML source generator (code generator) will generate domain classes and descriptor classes for given XML schema artefacts. The mapping file for Castor XML does allow you to specify validators as well. Does this answer your question ?

Not without asking for this to be done specifically. And the property mentioned above does *not* trigger this. Having said that, I am actually not sure whether validation against an XML schema is supported during marshalling. It definitely is upon unmarshalling, as this task is delegated to the underlying XML parser. > > > Karl > > > > ************************************************************ ************************************************************ Copyright in this message and any attachments remains with us.
