EDIT : A new lib has been introduced which clarify the thing for new versions
Since version 5.5.0 Spring integration comes within additional module dozer-spring.
Hi there I'm relatively new to Dozer and Spring and a bit confused about how to put that in place.
From the dozer website : http://dozer.sourceforge.net/documentation/usage.html
Spring integration ...
<bean id="mapper" class="org.dozer.DozerBeanMapper"> <property name="mappingFiles"> <list> <value>dozer-global-configuration.xml</value> <value>dozer-bean-mappings.xml</value> <value>more-dozer-bean-mappings.xml</value> </list> </property> </bean>
Now from http://dozer.sourceforge.net/documentation/springintegration.html :
<bean class="org.dozer.spring.DozerBeanMapperFactoryBean"> <property name="mappingFiles" value="classpath*:/*mapping.xml"/> <property name="customConverters"> <list> <bean class="org.dozer.converters.CustomConverter"/> </list> </property> <property name="eventListeners"> <list> <bean class="org.dozer.listeners.EventListener"/> </list> </property> <property name="factories"> <map> <entry key="id" value-ref="bean-factory-ref"/> </map> </property> </bean>
So I'm not really sure which way I should use it. My objectives is to have a mapper object in my business classes that will convert Business Objects
to DTO
(and reversely). So I think it just should be a basic Dependency Injection ?
Thanks for any help.
