/**
 * Implementation of the {@code Marshaller} interface for XStream.
 *
 * 

By default, XStream does not require any further configuration and can (un)marshal * any class on the classpath. As such, it is not recommended to use the * {@code XStreamMarshaller} to unmarshal XML from external sources (i.e. the Web), * as this can result in security vulnerabilities. If you do use the * {@code XStreamMarshaller} to unmarshal external XML, set the * {@link #setSupportedClasses(Class[]) supportedClasses} and * {@link #setConverters(ConverterMatcher[]) converters} properties (possibly using * a {@link CatchAllConverter}) or override the {@link #customizeXStream(XStream)} * method to make sure it only accepts the classes you want it to support. * *

Due to XStream's API, it is required to set the encoding used for writing to * OutputStreams. It defaults to {@code UTF-8}. * *

NOTE: XStream is an XML serialization library, not a data binding library. * Therefore, it has limited namespace support. As such, it is rather unsuitable for * usage within Web Services. * *

This marshaller requires XStream 1.4.5 or higher, as of Spring 4.3. * Note that {@link XStream} construction has been reworked in 4.0, with the * stream driver and the class loader getting passed into XStream itself now. * * @author Peter Meijer * @author Arjen Poutsma * @author Juergen Hoeller * @author Sam Brannen * @since 3.0 */ public class XStreamMarshaller extends AbstractMarshaller implements BeanClassLoaderAware, InitializingBean { /** * The default encoding used for stream access: UTF-8. */ public static final String DEFAULT_ENCODING = "UTF-8"; @Nullable private ReflectionProvider reflectionProvider; @Nullable private HierarchicalStreamDriver streamDriver; @Nullable private HierarchicalStreamDriver defaultDriver; @Nullable private Mapper mapper; @Nullable private Class[] mapperWrappers; private ConverterLookup converterLookup = new DefaultConverterLookup(); private ConverterRegistry converterRegistry = (ConverterRegistry) this.converterLookup; @Nullable private ConverterMatcher[] converters; @Nullable private MarshallingStrategy marshallingStrategy; @Nullable private Integer mode; @Nullable private Map aliases; @Nullable private Map aliasesByType; @Nullable private Map fieldAliases; @Nullable private Class[] useAttributeForTypes; @Nullable private Map useAttributeFor; @Nullable private Map, String> implicitCollections; @Nullable private Map, String> omittedFields; @Nullable private Class[] annotatedClasses; private boolean autodetectAnnotations; private String encoding = DEFAULT_ENCODING; private NameCoder nameCoder = new XmlFriendlyNameCoder(); @Nullable private Class[] supportedClasses; private ClassLoader beanClassLoader = new CompositeClassLoader(); private final SingletonSupplier xstream = SingletonSupplier.of(this::buildXStream); /** * Set a custom XStream {@link ReflectionProvider} to use. * @since 4.0 */ public void setReflectionProvider(ReflectionProvider reflectionProvider) { this.reflectionProvider = reflectionProvider; } /** * Set a XStream {@link HierarchicalStreamDriver} to be used for readers and writers. *
