Hi Simon,

You can use the 'type' method for generating the classes. For more
information, please take a look at:
http://www.castor.org/sourcegen.html#Class-Creation/Mapping

Bear in mind that castor generates Java classes to represent the
hierarchy defined in your XML Schema so if you have defined 100
top-level elements it is natural to expect 100 classes generated.
