You need to create following files for marshalling java object into XML using Spring with Castor:

  1. Employee.java
  2. applicationContext.xml
  3. mapping.xml
  4. Client.java

Required Jar files

To run this example, you need to load:

  • Spring Core jar files
  • Spring Web jar files
  • castor-1.3.jar
  • castor-1.3-core.jar

download all the jar files for spring including core, web, aop, mvc, j2ee, remoting, oxm, jdbc, orm etc.

Employee.java
