Here is my context: I am using byteBuddy to dynamically generate a class that transform an object into another one based on a external configuration. I encountered some issues and I wanted to find an alternative that's how I discovered MapStruct.
So I tried to build simple mapper and I wanted to know if there is the possibility to customize the annotation to add transformation functions. For instance I would like to have:
@Mapping(
source = "mySourceField",
sourceType = "String",
target = "myTargetField",
targetType = "Integer",
transformation = {"toInteger", "toSquare"}
),
And on the mapper implementation I would have something like :
public TypeDest toSiteCatTag(TypeSrc obj) {
if ( obj == null ) {
return null;
}
TypeDest objDest = new TypeDest();
objDest.myTargetField = Formatter.toSquare(
Formatter.toInteger(obj.mySourceField));
return objDest;
}
If someone can help me to achieve that I would be grateful and it would save me a lot of time.
Thanks in advance.
