Does anyone know why I am getting a namespace on an XML node for the property "object"?
It should just be <object>JeffF Cross</object>. The property in debug mode looks like fine and doesn't contain any extra data and is a string. This is in Spring MVC using a Xstream as a serializer.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><getMemberActivitiesResponse><validator/><activities><list>
<object xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xs:string">JeffF Cross</object>

I fixed this by renaming the property "object" to "directobject". Seems "object" is a keyword that XStream can't parse correctly.
