I need to map many properties from two or more DTOs to common one. The original problem is that I need to use the domain model of other software in data integration layer. After research I have an idea to use "object to object mapper" framework (or create such myself). I have looked at above 10 frameworks and I still couldn't match all my criteria:
- Mature project with community support
- Definition of mappings by annotations or XML
- Bidirectional mapping
- Possibility of tuning generated mapping code
- Possibility of creating mappings basing on comprehensive conditions (wildcards, regexps, logical conditions)
My current candidates are Dozer (annotations, mature project), MapStruct (generated code, possibility of building comprehensive conditions), Moo (annotations, friendly SQL-like syntax) or doing it manually - unfortunately none of these matching all criteria
Could you share with me your experience in this subject? Maybe you met with similar problem and have better approach.
Thank you.
