UnknownFieldException - No such field

I keep getting this error when I try to marshall an xml file into POJO's using xstream, im not sure what is going on , could do with a fresh eye to look at things.

Exception in thread "main"      com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.reflection.AbstractReflectionConverter$UnknownFieldException: No such field org.smurk.webtest.domain.Attribute.class-title

These are the relevant domain objects:

@XStreamAlias("attribute")
public class Attribute {

    @XStreamAlias("class-title")
    private ClassTitle classTitle; 

    @XStreamAlias("type")
    private String type;

    public ClassTitle getClassTitle() {
        return classTitle;
    }

    public void setClassTitle(ClassTitle classTitle) {
        this.classTitle = classTitle;
    }

    public String getType() {
        return type;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
        this.type = type;
    }
}

@XStreamAlias("class-title")
public class ClassTitle {

    @XStreamAlias("title-part")
    private TitlePart titlePart;

    public TitlePart getTitlePart() {
        return titlePart;
    } 

    public void setTitlePart(TitlePart titlePart) {
        this.titlePart = titlePart;
    }

}

this is the xml:

<classification symbol="A01B1/00" level="7" additional-only="false" status="PUBLISHED">
<attributes>
    <attribute type="TITLES">
        <class-title>
            <title-part>
                <text scheme="ipc">Hand tools</text>
                <explanation>
                    <text scheme="ipc"> edge trimmers for lawns <class-ref scheme="cpc">A01G3/06</class-ref> ; </text>
                    <comment>
                        <text scheme="cpc"> machines for working soil <class-ref scheme="cpc">A01B35/00</class-ref> ; making hand tools <class-ref scheme="cpc">B21D</class-ref>
                        </text>
                    </comment>
                </explanation>
            </title-part>
        </class-title>
    </attribute>
</attributes>
</>

For me, i added below line to get rid of the exception:

xStream.ignoreUnknownElements();

Just to answer the question, it seems I had some XStream annotation wrong in a parent class, this was causing an error further down the hierarchy.
