I want to add some external properties (something not in the object I'm mapping) to the MappingContext.
Here what I want to accomplish:
MapperFactory mapperFactory = new DefaultMapperFactory.Builder().build();
mapperFactory.classMap(ObjA.class, ObjB.class).customize(new CustomMapper<ObjA, ObjB>() {
@Override
public void mapAtoB(ObjA objA, ObjB objB, MappingContext context) {
objB.setName((String) context.getProperty("name"));
}
}).byDefault().register();
MapperFacade mapper = mapperFactory.getMapperFacade();
ObjA objA = new ObjA();
ObjB objB = new ObjB();
MappingContext context = new MappingContext(); //PROBLEME IS HERE: MappingContext is a abstract class
context.setProperty("name", "Some information not in objA nor in objB");
mapper.map(objA, objB, context);
How can I do that? Can I dynamically add data to the context? Or is it an other way to pass additional data to mapper?
The solution is simple:
MappingContext context = new MappingContext.Factory().getContext();
context.setProperty("name", "value");
mapper.map(objA, objB, context);
