CastorMarshaller is missing a way to specify the Castor-generated class to use during unmarshalling. [SWS-33]

[gregturn]

Shannon Kendrick opened SWS-33 and commented

The class org.springframework.oxm.castor.CastorMarshaller is unable to unmarshal XML to Java unless a mapping file is used. Typically a mapping file is NOT used with Castor when using Castor-generated Java classes (generated from an XML schema).

The method org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Class clazz) should be used when the class type is specified.

I will add a targetClass property to the CastorMarshaller, just like with the JibxMarshaller. That does mean, however, that the CastorMarshaller is tied to a specific class, and you would need to configure multiple marshallers for multiple classes.

the code is in svn. You can check it using svn from this URL:
