Class CatchAllConverter

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.oxm.xstream.CatchAllConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.Converter, com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConverterMatcher

public class CatchAllConverter
extends Object
implements com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.Converter

XStream Converter that supports all classes, but throws exceptions for (un)marshalling.

Main purpose of this class is to register this converter as a catchall last converter with a normal or higher priority, in addition to converters that explicitly support the domain classes that should be supported. As a result, default XStream converters with lower priorities and possible security vulnerabilities do not get invoked.

For instance:

 XStreamMarshaller unmarshaller = new XStreamMarshaller();
 unmarshaller.getXStream().registerConverter(new MyDomainClassConverter(), XStream.PRIORITY_VERY_HIGH);
 unmarshaller.getXStream().registerConverter(new CatchAllConverter(), XStream.PRIORITY_NORMAL);
 MyDomainClass o = unmarshaller.unmarshal(source);
