  * because it is invoked for ALL field mappings. For custom mappings of particular fields, using a CustomConverter is a

  * much better choice.

  * <p>

  * If a custom field mapper is specified, Dozer will invoke this class when performing all field mappings. If false is

  * returned from the call to mapField(), then the field will be subsequently mapped by Dozer as normal.
