默认情况下在推土机中调用自定义转换器

Question

Does Dozer could call custom converter after default? I want to create something like chain. At first I want to call default converter to make most of convertion work and only after that call custom converter to populate complex fields?

EDIT

by default when I create custom converter I need to override two methods. Each of this method has 2 arguments source object and target object . But when we call convertTo method second argument( target object ) equals to null. So may be I need to specify something in mapping file to make dozer process default converter before custom?

Sorry for bad english

Answer 1

After look into source code I understand that this probably imposible. Instead of this dozer library propose using custom-converters at field level like this:

<mapping wildcard="false" >
        <class-a>package.A</class-a>
        <class-b>package.B</class-b>
        <field>
            <a>id</a>
            <b>id</b>
        </field>
        <field custom-converter="test.AtoBNameFieldCustomConverter">
            <a>name</a>
            <b>name</b>
        </field>
</mapping>

May be this help someone.
