Environment: all

Description:
Java classes may define a specialized serialization (see JavaDoc for
Serializable) by defining two methods:

private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException
private void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException

XStream is not capable of handling these cases.

A simple usecase:

public class SpecialClass {
  protected transient String[] array = ...
  private void writeObject( ObjectOutputStream out ) {
    // do something special with "array" here (i.e. encrpyt it)
    // and write to "out"
  }
}

XStream does not look at "array" because it's transient, but does also not 
treat writeObject(), so a serialized object of SpecialClass will be empty.
