[xstream-user] Implicit Collection where collection is a generic type

[Gabriel Rossetti]

Hi all,

I have an issue un-serializing a class with a generic type. Here is an
example:

public abstract class Message<T> {

  protected T data;
  // getters and setters
}

public class StringListMessage extends Message <List<String> > {

  protected T data;
  // getters and setters
}

For example. I am using addImplicitCollection like this:

xstream.addImplicitCollection(StringListMessage.class, "data");

get the following error:

Field "data" declares no collection or array

I can't find anything online about this.

Thanks,
Gabriel
