Hi,

I use castor to marshall a java object. There are three objects Service, Group and Unit. The Service object includes a collection of Group. The Group object includes a collection of Unit. Obviously, there are two layers here. When I try to marshall service object, Castor successfully marshall the collection of Group object but can't do correctly for the collection of Unit in the Group object.

The result is below:
<service>
  <name>firstONe</name>
  <group>
  <name>2nd group</name>
  <all-unit xsi:type="java:java.util.AbstractList$Itr" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" />
  </group>
</service>

mapping file looks like below:
<mapping>
  <class name="Service">
    <map-to xml="service"/>
    <field name="name">
      <bind-xml name="name" node="element"/>
    </field>
    <field name="groups" collection="collection" type="Group">
      <bind-xml name="group"/>
    </field>
  </class>
  <class name="Group" auto-complete="true">
    <field name="groupName">
      <bind-xml name="name" node="element"/>
    </field>
    <field name="units" collection="collection" type="Unit">
      <bind-xml name="unit"/>
    </field>
  </class>
  <class name="Unit" auto-complete="true">
    <field name="unitName">
      <bind-xml name="name" node="element"/>
    </field>
    <field name="groupName">
      <bind-xml name="groupName" node="element"/>
    </field>
  </class>
</mapping>

I'm just wondering if castor doesn't support recursive marshall of collection field.

Does anyone know that? Thanks in advance.
