I am not sure, what you are really referring to, but you might refer the JavaBeanConverter ... do you?

version 1.1.2 major change states this:
"XSTR-186, Option to serialize JavaBeans using public accessors, rather than private fields (contributed by Andrea Aime)."



what i want is xstream just serializes properties that have a getter method. and kick other private fields out.
i don't know how to do this.

This is off by default, since XStream uses normally a converter based on reflection. You have to register a JavaBeanConverter with a priority equals or one better than this reflection based converter. See unit test as an example:

http://fisheye.codehaus.org/browse/xstream/tags/XSTREAM_1_1_3/xstream/src/test/com/thoughtworks/xstream/converters/javabean/JavaBeanConverterTest.java?r=554

If you want this behaviour only for certain types instead for all classes, you have to derive from the JavaBeanConverter and adjust the canConvert method accordingly.

thank you very much. the unit test is a good example for me.
