Description
When using castor to generate automatically xml from an object, and defining a specific mapping for attribute, Castor generates the following XML :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root-node>
<amount xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="java:java.lang.String">100.000000000000</amount>
</root-node>
This XML is not validable as is because the namespace "java:" is not declared in the xml.
So castor should generate an xml with the "java:" namespace declared like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root-node xmlns:java="http://java.castor.org">
<amount xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="java:java.lang.String">100.000000000000</amount>
</root-node>

I think the processing of xsi:type in this case will be unique to Castor, or if we're lucky might be similar across JAXB implementations at best. So my gut reaction is just about anything should be fine, I'd probably use http://java.sun.com, possibly with a version number after it if we need to be more specific. If there's a desire to make the URL resolve to something useful, I'd use the API documentation for the given version of java: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/
Obviously this is all speculation, but an opinion was asked for 
As a matter of fact, the code as procuced by Castor is .. well. invalid. Let us get back to you with ideas.
