In Listing 20-3, a contact's information is wrapped under the <contact> tag. The root tag is the
<contacts> tag, which can accommodate more contact information for import into the database.
We will use Castor to map the XML to the POJO. Listing 20-4 shows the mapping file
(/src/main/resources/oxm-mapping.xml).
