Hi Cesar,
I am afraid that that won't be able with Castor - for several reasons,
that is.
a) Provided the mapping you are using, the XML does not match the
structure you have defined in your mapping. Your field mapping
<field name="name" type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="name" node="element" location="b/c"/>
</field>
indicates that the 'name' property of your Dog class does not allow
multi-valuedness. That's your first break.
b) You are slightly mis-interpreting the location attribute. This
attribute is designed to allow pre-pending XML artefacts that you do not
want to have in your Java POJOs. It is a structural element only, and
not designed to be used to identify specific occurrences of XML
artefacts at run-time.
Regards
Werner
