I have a container class as follows:
class FruitBasket { List<Apple> apples; List<Orange> oranges;}
I have added xstream.registerConverter(new
HibernatePersistentCollectionConverter(xstream.getMapper()));I have also setup
alias apple for com.myorg.Apple and com.myorg.Orange.
The marshalled FruitBasket object has:
<apples class="list"> <apple>....</apple>
<apple>....</apple></apples><oranges class="list"> <orange>....</orange>
<orange>....</orange></oranges>
In order to get rid of the class="list" in apples and oranges, I added
xstream.alias("apples", List.class,
PersistentList.class);xstream.alias("oranges", List.class,
PersistentList.class); The objects are marshalled all right, without the class=
attributes.
But the client unmarshals, and fails with
com.thoughtworks.xstream.mapper.CannotResolveClassException: oranges
If I change the order of aliasing with oranges first instead of
apples:xstream.alias("oranges", List.class,
PersistentList.class);xstream.alias("apples", List.class, PersistentList.class);
then the CannotResolveClassException comes for apples.
Seems like at most one collection of the same interface type (List in this
case) is end-to-end marshalled / unmarshalled all right for the FruitBasket
container class.
I would like to know if there is a way around the problem.
