With OpenCSV, how do I append to existing CSV using a MappingStrategy?

With OpenCSV, how do I append to existing CSV using a MappingStrategy? There are lots of examples I could find where NOT using a Bean mapping stategy BUT I like the dynamic nature of the column mapping with bean strategy and would like to get it working this way. Here is my code, which just rewrites the single line to CSV file instead of appending.

How can I fix this? Using OpenCSV 4.5 . Note: I set my FileWriter for append=true . This scenario is not working as I expected. Re-running this method simply results in over-writing the entire file with a header and a single row.

public void addRowToCSV(PerfMetric rowData) {
    File file = new File(PerfTestMetric.CSV_FILE_PATH);
    try {
        CSVWriter writer = new CSVWriter(new FileWriter(file, true));

        CustomCSVMappingStrategy<PerfMetric> mappingStrategy 
          = new CustomCSVMappingStrategy<>();
        mappingStrategy.setType(PerfMetric.class);

        StatefulBeanToCsv<PerfMetric> beanToCsv 
           = new StatefulBeanToCsvBuilder<PerfMetric>(writer)
            .withMappingStrategy(mappingStrategy)
            .withSeparator(',')
            .withApplyQuotesToAll(false)
            .build();

        try {
            beanToCsv.write(rowData);
        } catch (CsvDataTypeMismatchException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (CsvRequiredFieldEmptyException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Or, is the usual pattern to load all rows into a List and then re-write entire file? I was able to get it to work by writing two MappingStrategy mapping strategies and then conditionally using them with a if-file-exists but doing it that way leaves me with a "Unchecked assignment" warning in my code. Not ideal; hoping for an elegant solution?

回答1:

I never found an answer to this question and so what I ended up doing was doing a branch if-condition where .csv file exists or not. If file exists I used MappingStrategyWithoutHeader strategy, and if file didn't yet exist, I used MappingStrategyWithHeader strategy. Not ideal, but I got it working.
