Member collection=set but argument is object array

[Matthew Young]

using Castor 1.3

following binding works fine:

        <complexTypeBinding name="/complexType:Base/Tag">
                <member collection="collection"/>
        </complexTypeBinding>

where Tag is an unbounded element to the complexType Base.  The generated class for Base gets the following property:

     private java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> _tagList;

so the underlying property type is correctly set (as a Collection).  However, the set/get pass an object array (of String):

     public void setTag(final java.lang.String[] vTagArray) {

Why?  Want to be able to use a Collection as the parameter.  Reason being is I want a Hibernate collection mapping to map to the Tag property and pass a set/collection.  Do not want to use the Castor mapping facility (and map premade Java POJOs).

Generating my Java classes from xml schemas with the Castor Ant task.

Matthew,

have a look at

http://castor.org/reference/html/xml.code.generator.html#xml.code.generator.properties.detailed.extra.collection

and try to enable the org.exolab.castor.builder.extraCollectionMethods
property.

Regards
Werner
