Annotation Type XStreamConverter

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={TYPE,FIELD})
@Documented
public @interface XStreamConverter

Annotation to declare a converter. The annotation supports additionally the injection of various constructor arguments provided by XStream:

• Mapper: The current mapper chain of the XStream instance.
• ClassLoader: The class loader used by the XStream instance to deserialize the objects.
• ReflectionProvider: The reflection provider used by the reflection based converters of the current XStream instance.
• Class: The type of the element where the annotation is declared. Note, that this argument is not supported when using XStreamConverters.

Note, the annotation matches a ConverterMatcher. ConverterMatcher as well as SingleValueConverter extend this interface. The AnnotationMapper can only handle these two known types.
