I am facing a problem with castor while trying to parse an xml which contains same name for the parent and child node... Here are the details:
This is the part of the mapping file:
<class name="com.somepackage.Item">
<field name="id" type="java.lang.long">
<bind-xml name="itemiD" node="element"/>
</field>
<field name="amount" type="com.somepackage.Amount">
<bind-xml name="amount" />
</field>
</class>
<class name="com.somepackage.Amount" >
<field name="amount" type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="amount" />
</field>
<field name="currency" type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="currency" />
</field>
</class>
And this is the xml which I am trying to parse:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<list xmlns="http://someurl">
<item>
<itemID>42425</itemID>
<amount>
<amount>10.00</amount>
<currency>EUR</currency>
</amount>
<item>
</list>
And this is the error logs related with the above stuff:

Is it a bug or some other problem that I need to change something in the mapping? There is no way to change the xml and its schema as I am getting it from a third party. if there is no way to handle this changing the mapping and so on, shall i use another parser?
I tried to edit the question and I don't have enough rep to comment but this question seems to be the same as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16650013/parsing-with-castor-xml-parser.
Over there, a comment was made that castor cannot parse elements where the child and parent have the same name. With that, you'll have to change one or the other.
