3rd Party Object Factories

Dozer supports mapping of plain Java objects to frameworks that require instantiation of objects via certain convention of calling factory methods. To reproduce the expected behavior custom bean factories should be used.

Mapping JAXB Objects

Dozer has support for mapping POJOs to JAXB objects. Use the JAXBBeanFactory for any JAXB objects you want create. 


<mapping>
  <class-a>org.dozer.vo.TestObject</class-a>
  <class-b bean-factory="org.dozer.factory.JAXBBeanFactory">
    org.dozer.vo.jaxb.employee.Employee
  </class-b>

  <field>
    <a>name</a>
    <b>firstName</b>
  </field>

  <field>
    <a>street</a>
    <b>address.street</b>
  </field>

</mapping>

Mapping XMLBeans

Dozer has support for mapping POJOs to XMLBeans objects. Use the XMLBeanFactory for any XMLBeans you want created. This factory will also be used for mapping any fields that need to be instantiated in a deep mapping that are not regular POJOs but are XMLBeans. 

           
<mapping wildcard="false">
  <class-a>org.dozer.vo.TestObject</class-a>
  <class-b bean-factory="org.dozer.factory.XMLBeanFactory">
    org.dozer.vo.GetWeatherByZipCodeDocument
  </class-b>

  <field>
    <a>one</a>
    <b>GetWeatherByZipCode.zipCode</b>
  </field>    

</mapping>

The unit test:

           
// Map from TestObject to XMLBeans
TestObject to = new TestObject();
to.setOne("one");
GetWeatherByZipCodeDocument doc = 
    mapper.map(to, GetWeatherByZipCodeDocument.class);
assertEquals(to.getOne(), 
    doc.getGetWeatherByZipCode().getZipCode());

// Map from XMLBeans to TestObject
GetWeatherByZipCodeDocument res = 
    GetWeatherByZipCodeDocument.Factory.newInstance();
GetWeatherByZipCode zipCode = 
    res.addNewGetWeatherByZipCode();
zipCode.setZipCode("one");
TestObject to2 = mapper.map(res, TestObject.class);
assertEquals(res.getGetWeatherByZipCode().getZipCode(), 
    to2.getOne());
