Java XStream convert XML to Object

I am using XStream to convert XML string to Java Object.

I have a huge set of data but I am posting the minimal code below:

XStream xstream = new XStream(new StaxDriver());
xstream.alias("data", DetList.class);
xstream.alias("i", Details.class);
String s = new String("<data>\n"
           +"\t<i Name='asia' type='continent' id='11'></i>\n"
           +"\t<i Name='africa' type='continent' id='12'></i>\n"
           +"\t<i Name='japan' type='country' id='13'></i>\n"
           +"</data>");
System.out.println(s);
DetList data = (DetList) xstream.fromXML(s);

When I debug, data is always null.

Here is my DetList class:

public class DetList {
    private List<Details> detlist;

    public List<Details> getDetlist() {
        return detlist;
    }

    public void setDetlist(List<Details> detlist) {
        this.detlist = detlist;
    }
}

And my Details class:

public class Details {

    private String Name;
    private String type;
    private String id;

    //Getters and Setters are here.
}

data is null which is supposed to contain the list of i.

How can I get it to work?
