Description
Annotating a class with @XStreamAlias("event") fails to map to the class when mapping from XML to POJO.
So for a class:
@XStreamAlias("event")
public final class AuditEventURL
...
executing:
xstream.fromXML(xml);
results in <ws.cogito.auditing.model.AuditEventURL> rather than <event>.
The work around is to configure xstream engine with an alias:
xstream.alias("event", AuditEventURL.class);
results in <event>
But I would think this is redundant given the annotation.

This is expected. See comments to auto-detection in the Annotation tutorial.

I meant to say in my posting that executing xstream.fromXML(xml) fails unless I pass in <ws.cogito.auditing.model.AuditEventURL>. But I thought the annotation would allow me pass in <event> instead. The work around is to add an alias to the engine which helps resolve <event> to AuditEventURL POJO.
