public class ObjectToXml

extends AbstractXStreamTransformer

ObjectToXml converts any object to xml using Xstream. Xstream uses some cleaver tricks so objects that get marshalled to xml do not need to implement any interfaces including Serializable and you don't even need to specify a default constructor. If UMOMessage is added as a source type on this transformer then the UMOMessage will be serialised. This is useful for transports such as tcp where the message headers would normally be lost.
