I inherited a project that was built using XStream 1.2.2. It will be possible upgrade to 1.4.4, but there is no testing around XStream, so I would need to do a lot of manual testing.
Trying to come up with a more automatic way of creating output. The XML is normalized in standard XML fields. For example: String foo = "bar"; results in <field name="foo">bar</field> Although I would like an automatic way to have this format for all attributes way, I was not able to find an easy solution. I then looked at annotating classes in order to use a custom converter: @XStreamConverter(MyFieldConverter.class) String foo; However, it seems I cannot access the variable name "foo". I can see the value in the writer's element stack, but the stack is not publicly accessible. Is there a way to retrieve the field name? Another option I can see is to post-process the XML using XSLT. Is it possible to associate an XSLT with a class? If my code has: xstream.marshal(obj, new CompactWriter(out)); can I associate an XSLT with obj's class? If not, do I setup the traxsource/transformer as shown in the example before my marshal call? Cheers, Ivan
