Single element array bug in XStream

问题

If you have a function like this:

List<User> getUsers() {}

If getUsers returns a List with just one element the resulting JSON is just a JSON Object rather than a JSON array.

Is there a workaround to make XStream return JSON array regardless if the function returns single array List?

The solution is to downgrade to Jettison 1.2
