XSTREAM array converter

I want to convert below XML to objects. I

<authentication>
    <name>Reese Rideout</name>
    <shows type="array">
        <show>stage</show>
        <show>youtube</show>
    </shows>
</authentication>

I have Authentication class with List<Show> shows. I believe I will need to use the array converter. However, I do not understand how to use it and am not finding any documents.

Kindly suggest how could I parse this into my object graph.

This is how I fixed this:

xstream.alias("shows", Shows.class);
xstream.alias("show", String.class);

And also set the Shows.shows field as an implicit collection: xstream.addImplicitCollection(Shows.class, "shows");

For 

 <authentication>
      <name>Reese Rideout</name>
      <shows type="array">
         <show>stage</show>
         <show>youtube</show>
       </shows>
    </authenticatoin>

you can have 

class Authentication{
String name;
List<Show> shows;
}

class Show{
List<String> show;
}

You will have to use aliasing 

xstream.alias("authentication", Authentication.class);
xstream.alias("Show", Show.class);
