java - why DozerConverter is not working? -

i using dozer version 5.5.1. , want configure custom converter have this

import org.dozer.dozerconverter;  import com.example.movies.api.models.response.clientresponsedto;  public class mycustomconverter     extends dozerconverter<clientresponsedto, string> {      public mycustomconverter() {         super(clientresponsedto.class, string.class);     }      @override     public string convertto(clientresponsedto source, string destination) {         return "clientresponsedto converted string!";     }      @override     public clientresponsedto convertfrom(string source, clientresponsedto destination) {         return new clientresponsedto();     }     } 

which loading spring this:

@bean public mapper dozerbeanmapper() {     dozerbeanmapper mapper = new dozerbeanmapper();     list<customconverter> converters = new arraylist<>();     converters.add(new mycustomconverter(clientresponsedto.class, string.class));     mapper.setcustomconverters(converters);     return mapper; } 

then, have usage:

    @autowired mapper mapper;     ...      clientresponsedto clientresponsedto = clientservice.getclient(id);     string conversion = this.mapper.map(clientresponsedto, string.class); 

and custom converter never being called. know why ? regards!

refer dozer documenttion should add mapping bean description. eg.

<bean id="org.dozer.mapper" class="org.dozer.dozerbeanmapper"> <property name="mappingfiles"> <list>   <value>systempropertymapping1.xml</value>   <value>dozerbeanmapping.xml</value>   <value>injectedcustomconverter.xml</value> </list> </property><property name="customconverterswithid"> <map>   <entry key="customconverterwithid" ref="configurableconverterbeaninstance1" />   <entry key="customconverterwithid2" ref="configurableconverterbeaninstance2" /> </map> </property> </bean>
