Mapping deep properties with intermediate collections in dozer

Question

Suppose I have the following classes

public class Baz {
  private List foos = new ArrayList();
}

public class Foo {
  private String strin         


        

Answer 1

You could always write your own CustomConverter.

It makes sense why Dozer isn't able to handle this as you expect since at runtime it has no type information about the List foos and can't guarantee that every Object in the list is actually a Foo.
