XStream动态转换列表

Question

我正在尝试实现一个通用的XStream阅读器来读取我的xml。我的XML具有相同的标记名，但具有不同的ID。示例：

URL 1中的XML返回：

<rss>
    <reg id="someClass">
        <ds>bla bla</ds>
    </reg>
</rss>

来自URL2的XML返回：

<rss>
    <reg id="differentClass">
        <id> 1 </id>
        <location> etc </location>
    </reg>
    <reg id="differentClass">
        <id> 2 </id>
        <location> etc2 </location>
    </reg>
</rss>

所以你可以看到，它们都是一样的，直到我的reg标签开始，它可以是一个列表或者一个值。但到目前为止还好。然而，如果我用引用"someClass“类的reg对象实现我的RSS类，它工作得很好，它转换并给出我期望的值，但是我需要使它泛型，而不是为相同的结构创建N个类，我试图以这种方式实现我的RSS类：

public class RSS {
    private List<?> reg;
    public List<?> getReg() {
        return reg;
    }
    public void setReg(List<?> reg) {
        this.reg = reg;
    }
}

我的SomeClass类：

public class SomeClass{
    private String ds;
    //getters and setters
}

我的differentClass：

public class DifferentClass{
    private String id, location;
    //getters and setters
}

并尝试按如下方式读取第一个url的XML：

response = client.execute(httpPost, httpContext);
    xstream.ignoreUnknownElements();
    xstream.alias("rss", RSS.class);
    xstream.alias("reg", SomeClass.class);
    RSS rss = (RSS) xstream.fromXML(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
    Object user = rss.getReg();
    return (SomeClass) user;

对于第二个url，而不是'SomeClass'，使用'differentClass‘。但是这种方法不起作用，因为我得到了以下异常：

我被困在这里了，有没有可能使用XStream实现这种方法？如果是，是如何实现的？我可以让它在没有这个库的情况下工作(一个标签一个标签地读取)，但是将来使用这个库会更容易。

错误消息显示xstream试图将ds转换为ArrayList。告诉xstream它是一个字符串：

xstream.aliasType("ds", String.class);
