The type attribute is for the type of object within the map and not what type of map it is. In previous versions of castor (0.9.5.2 and earlier), Castor only saved the elements and not the keys (unless of course the key was part of the element). So the type always specified the type of the value. Since 0.9.5.3 Castor saves both the key and the value...so the type is automatically org.exolab.castor.mapping.MapItem. So you can just remove the type. If you need to specify the type of the key and value you can write a simple mapping for MapItem. There is an example on the website here:
