Description

XStream does not ensure, that the object returned by a converter is of the appropriate type. It happily sets the field to any object returned by a converter, regardless of the field's type. Reported by Joe Wolf: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.xstream.user/1577

Joe Wolf, can you test this? The latest version in the repository will detect now such a situation and throw a ConversionException.
