Dozer

Dozer

The dozer: component provides the ability to map between Java beans using the Dozer mapping framework.  Camel also supports the ability to trigger Dozer mappings as a type converter.  The primary differences between using a Dozer endpoint and a Dozer converter are:

• The ability to manage Dozer mapping configuration on a per-endpoint basis vs. global configuration via the converter registry.
• A Dozer endpoint can be configured to marshal/unmarshal input and output data using Camel data formats to support a single, any-to-any transformation endpoint
• The Dozer component allows for fine-grained integration and extension of Dozer to support extended functionality (e.g. mapping constants to target fields).

In order to use the Dozer component, Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-dozer</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI format

dozer:endpointId[?options]

Where endpointId is a name used to uniquely identify the Dozer endpoint configuration. 

An example Dozer endpoint URI:

from("direct:orderInput").
  to("dozer:transformOrder?mappingFile=orderMapping.xml&targetModel=example.XYZOrder").
  to("direct:orderOutput");
