[esb-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBESB-1165) XStreamToObject cannot handle arrays

XStreamToObject cannot handle arrays ------------------------------------ Key: JBESB-1165 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBESB-1165 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Rosetta Affects Versions: 4.2.1 IR1 Reporter: Daniel Bevenius Assigned To: Daniel Bevenius Priority: Minor Fix For: 4.2.1 IR2 Arrays don' get populated with objects from the xml. This is what fromXmlToObject looks like right now: xstream.unmarshal( reader, root ); If the root variable refers to an ArrayList with will not get populated but instead be empty. If I change this to Object obj = xstream.unmarshal( reader, root ); The variable obj will be an instance of ArrayList and be populated. I've written a unit test and will read up on the XStream docs to figure out the reason for all this.
