Description
A field is not transient when marshaled, then it
is changed to transient, and the unmarshaled
action will unserialize the field.
For example:
public class TryXstream {
private String tmpFiled = "just a string";
}
It is marshaled into
<org.simon.payment.TryXstream>
<tmpFiled>just a string</tmpFiled>
</org.simon.payment.TryXstream>
and change the field to transient
public class TryXstream {
private transient String tmpFiled = "another string";
}
then unmarshal from the xml, the tmpField will be set to "just a string"
Activity
The fix introduced the behaviour that XStream throws a ConversionException instead of silently unmarshal the transient field. This new bahaviour is in contradition with the XStream documentation, that states that an XML element for such a field is simply ignored. Therefore the issue was reopened.

XML elements for transient fields are now really ignored - not unserialized as it was done originally nor an exception is thrown. XStream behaves now in accordance with its FAQ.

Validated bug fix for " XML elements for transient fields are now really ignored according to FAQ" with an own test case. Bug is resolved for me.

XStream will ignore transient field now completely.
