Problem in castor mapping file

[Nishad Abdul kareem]

Hi all,
Can you please look on the mapping xml for the following xml file .I need to unmarshell the xml file .

The source xml file is like

<product_model>
<record>
<categories>C</categories>
<levelRank>00</levelRank>
<parentID>00</parentID>
<id>01</id>
<catalogName>Consumer Products</catalogName>
<materialName>Consumer Products</materialName>
</record>
<record>
<categories>C</categories>
<levelRank>00</levelRank>
<parentID>01</parentID>
<id>02</id>
<catalogName>Television Projector</catalogName>
<materialName>Television Projector</materialName>
</record>
<record>
<categories>C</categories>
<levelRank>00</levelRank>
<parentID>01</parentID>
<id>03</id>
<catalogName>Home Video</catalogName>
<materialName>Home Video</materialName>
</record>
.....................................
..............................
<product_model>


I defined the mapping xml in the following format


<class name="ProductModel">

<map-to xml="product_model"/>

<field name="categories" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="categories" node="element" location="record" />
</field>
<field name="levelRank" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="levelRank" node="element" location="record" />
</field>
<field name="parentID" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="parentID" node="element" location="record"/>
</field>
<field name="id" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="id" node="element" location="record"/>
</field>
<field name="catalogName" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="catalogName" node="element" location="record"/>
</field>

<field name="materialName" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="materialName" node="element" location="record"/>
</field>
</class>
</mapping>

It is not binding the data to the object.
The value of object is showing null.
Can anybody please help me?

Can you post your command lines you use to do the unmarshalling as well as your class and xml files you use therefore.

The format of xml file I metioned in the fiest posting.In the xml file I have lots of record fields.I want to get each record as an object.The unmarshalled data should be an object which i want to add in to a list.
the code is like

Mapping mapping = new Mapping();
mapping.loadMapping(productModelMapping);
Unmarshaller unmar = new Unmarshaller(ProductModel.class);
unmar.setMapping(mapping);

List unmarshaledList = new ArrayList();
unmarshaledList.add((List) unmar.unmarshal(inputSourceFile));


The inputSourceFile has the path of xml files.

How do I get the objects,to the list?

My mapping file is

<mapping>

<class name="com.sony.homepage.promotion.product.ProductModel">
<map-to xml="record"/>

<field name="categories" type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="categories" node="element" />
</field>
<field name="levelRank" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="levelRank" node="element" />
</field>

<field name="parentID" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="parentID" node="element"/>
</field>

<field name="id" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="id" node="element" />
</field>

<field name="catalogName" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="catalogName" node="element" />
</field>

<field name="materialName" type="java.lang.String" >
<bind-xml name="materialName" node="element" />
</field>
</class>
