I haven't used Castor for mixed content, but obviously, mixed content is more difficult to map to Java types, even if you have a schema. I probably wouldn't use Castor in those situations. Otherwise, it - or a tool like it that can map schemata to Java types for automatic parsing, generation, and validation - should still be your first choice. - Godmar On Feb 1, 2008 11:22 AM, Clay Redding <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I don't know if it's still the case, but I know a recent EAD project > that tried to use Castor said that it had problems with mixed content > models. -- Clay > > > On Feb 1, 2008, at 10:50 AM, Riley, Jenn wrote: > > >> -----Original Message----- > >>> I now need to read XML.
