public class XStreamToObject
extends AbstractObjectXStream

Object to processor.

Uses the XStream processor to generate an XML message String from the supplied object.

Sample Action Configuration:

 <Action name="doCustomer" processor="XStreamObject">
     <property name="class-alias" value="Customer" /> <!-- Optional. Class alias used in call to XStream.alias(String, Class) prior to deserialisation. -->
     <property name="incoming-type" value="CustomerProcessor" /> <!-- Required. Class for incoming type used to process the message after  deserialisation. -->
     <property name="exclude-package" value="false" /> <!-- Optional. Default "true".  Not applicable if a "class-alias" is specified. -->
     <property name="root-node" value="/root/Customer" /> 
     <!-- Optional. Specify an XPath expression be used to determine the root node used with XStream. 
     Useful when the object to convert is not the root node of the document -->
     <property name="aliases"> <!-- Optional list of extra aliases to add to XStream  -->
                <alias name="aliasName" class="className" /> 
                <alias name="aliasName" class="className" /> 
                ...
     </property>
 </Action>
 

The XML root element is either set from the "class-alias" property or the classes full name. In the later case, the class package is excluded unless "exclude-package" is set to "false"/"no". This can be used with ObjectToXStream
