XStreamMarshaller support for aliasField ?

Hello,

I need to rename an attribute before writing it to XML.
Basically, I would like to do http://xstream.codehaus.org/alias-tu...field_aliasing.

Exemple : my class

Code:

---

public class Document implements Serializable {
    private String canalOperateur;

---

should produce the following XML :

Code:

---

<document>
    <cOperateur>

---

But I cannot configure aliasField information in XStream.

I must use @XStreamAlias annotation to do this.

Is there a way to do it without annotation (only in spring configuration ?)

Thanks !

Hello,

Just FYI , in case someone has the same problem.
I wanted to serialize a java class to XML with XStream.
I needed to generated an XML element with one underline (canal_operateur), but XStream adds a second underline in the xml element name.
So how to keep only one underline ?

With the default configuration for this class :

Code:

---

@XStreamAlias("document")
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class Document implements Serializable {
    private String typedoc;
    private Fichier fichier;
    @XStreamAlias("canal_operateur")
    private String canalOperateur;
}

---

XStream doubles the underline :

Code:

---

<document>
    <canal__operateur>canal</canal__operateur>
    <commentaire>commentaire</commentaire>
    <metadonnees/>
</document>

---

You need the following configuration to override default behaviour and keep only one underline :

Code:

---

    <bean id="marshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.xstream.AnnotationXStreamMarshaller">
        <property name="streamDriver">
            <bean class="com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.xml.XppDriver">
                <constructor-arg>
                    <bean class="com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.xml.XmlFriendlyReplacer">
                        <constructor-arg index="0" value="_-"/>
                        <constructor-arg index="1" value="_"/>
                    </bean>
                </constructor-arg>
            </bean>
        </property>
        <property name="annotatedClasses">
            <list>
                <value>com.natixis.gedig.collecteur.writer.injecteur.Document</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
