Castor XML issue

Question

Hi,
i m using castor-1.0.3 for generating source code from xml schema.
i ve a complex schema n even have binding file too for class name conflicts.
The issue i m facing is when i run "
java org.exolab.castor.builder.SourceGenerator....." it gets hung after generating certain class files. it ll never proceed. i need to explicitly terminate after waiting for a long time..
I m stuck here as to what might be going wrong here..
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Lance

FYI:
I tried Castor. In my opinion, there's a much better solution BC4J. BC4J lets you read and write your objects to XML, using readXML and writeXML. It seems more mature than Castor.
If you are just reading and writing your object or collection of objects and hierarchy to file, then you only use readXML and writeXML.
With BC4J, you model you objects in BC4J, then BC4J allows you to create a DTD for these objects. So if you have inbound or outbound XML that you need to transform from/to, you can then use this DTD and the DTD/XML Schema of the other format to write a xslt transformation.
Another benefit, you can pass object hierarchies across a web service using writeXML on the client side and then readXML to repopulate the object hierarchy on the server side of the web service.
