Answer 1

I asked for exactly the same problem.

How can I make a XStreamMarshaller skip unknown binding?

And I got a comment linking this post.

I solved the my problem by extending the XStreamMarshaller.

public class ExtendedXStreamMarshaller extends XStreamMarshaller {

    @Override
    protected void configureXStream(final XStream xstream) {
        super.configureXStream(xstream);
        xstream.ignoreUnknownElements(); // will it blend?
    }
}
