Se você olhar para o Xstream documentação, eles afirmam claramente que você precisa adicionar o xml Prolog:
Why does XStream not write an XML declaration?
XStream is designed to write XML snippets, so you can embed its output into
an existing stream or string. You can write the XML declaration yourself into
the Writer before using it to call XStream.toXML(writer).
O código a seguir deve funcionar. Eu removi a maior parte do seu código, então você precisa colocá -lo de volta. O objetivo é apenas dar um exemplo de trabalho difícil:
private static void serializeData(Object diagData) throws Exception {
XStream xstream = new XStream();
xstream.processAnnotations(DiagData.class);
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = null;
Writer writer = new PrintWriter(new File(your file));
CompactWriter compactWriter = new CompactWriter(writer);
try {
writer.write(your xml prolog);
writer.write(your stylesheet);
xstream.marshal(diagData, compactWriter);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
} catch (Exception e) {
} finally {
release resources
}
}
