A little more context:
I wrote a custom MapConverter. Below is the implementation:
public MyCustomMapConverter extends MapConverter {
.....
@Override
public void marshal(Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer,
MarshallingContext context) {
Map map = (Map)source;
for (java.util.Iterator itor = map.entrySet().iterator();
itor.hasNext(); ) {
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry)itor.next();
writer.startNode(entry.getKey().toString());
writer.setValue(entry.getValue().toString());
writer.endNode();
}
}
}
With this implementation, I am still unable to get XStream to add them as
"direct" values. It still drops these key/values as a part of a JSON array?
