There is no way override @XStreamOmitField in extended classes

Once you add @XStreamOmitField annotation in super class there is no way to disable it in subclasses.

For example:

public abstract class DateSensitiveDataObject {

@XStreamOmitField
protected Date dateCreated;
}

public class SomeDataObject extends DateSensitiveDataObject {

}

If dateCreated is required in marshalled SomeDataObject there is no way to include it.
