Does not serialize multidimensional arrays

• • • • Posted by Philipp Kratochvil to mailing list ***

i've writen a small class, to save an three dimensional array using XStream:

---------------------------------------------------------------
public class Xstreamtest {

public Xstreamtest() {
}

public static void main(String args[])

{ XStream xs = new XStream(); String xml = xs.toXML(new wunschzeiten()); System.out.println("xml = " + xml); wunschzeiten wz = (wunschzeiten) xs.fromXML(xml); }

static class wunschzeiten {
boolean[][][] wunschzeiten = new boolean[5][5][5];

public void init() {
for (int i = 0; i < wunschzeiten.length; i++) {
boolean[][] booleans = wunschzeiten[i];
for (int j = 0; j < booleans.length; j++) {
boolean[] aBoolean = booleans[j];
for (int k = 0; k < aBoolean.length; k++)

{ boolean b = aBoolean[k]; b = true; }

}
}
}
}
}
---------------------------------------------------------------

when running this code above, i get an ConversionException.

Details:

com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException: unexpected character in markup [ (position: START_TAG seen ...<wunschzeiten>\n <[... @3:7)
---- Debugging information ----
required-type : [[[Z

line number : 3
path : /Xstreamtest-wunschzeiten/wunschzeiten
cause-exception : com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.StreamException
------------------------------------------------------------------

i wanted to use XStream for a big project where i often use multidimensional arrays, and i always run into this kind of exception.....

any help would be great,
thanks,
