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.

The main purpose of this class is to register this converter as a catch-all last converter with a normal or higher priority, in addition to converters that explicitly handle 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 myObject = unmarshaller.unmarshal(source);
