Description

I'm using XStream 1.3.1.

I want to omitField named "listener" which is a list of some template from an object type B extends A.

In the A class declaration:
List<EventListener> listener;

My code :

omitField(List.class,"listener"); //won't work!

Cause List is actually an Interface and the "listener" is "ArrayList".I've tried:

omitField(ArrayList.class,"listener"); //won't work!

If it's not a bug, please tell me how to work around. Thank in advanced.

May I simply cite the javadoc for omitField:

Prevents a field from being serialized. To omit a field you must always provide the declaring type and not necessarily the type that is converted.

The declaring type is the type that declares the field i.e. in your case A.
Have a look at the Alias Tutorial. And please use the user's list for questions - thanks!
