Java code generation

[Julien Roux]

Hello.

I am using Dozer to map objects in my application, but I have to map a big amount of objects and it can take a long time to convert all these objects. So I would like to know if it is possible to generate Java classes, from Dozer and the mapping XML files, that would do the mapping instead of doing it at run time with Dozer. That would be much faster as it would not use the Java reflection.

Thanks for you answers.

We have always wanted to build that but just never got around to it :)

Thanks for looking.

I have the following simple example:

A client object  TransferObject
ID
Name
Address
AccountNumber

List of services subscribed all of these fields are boolean
Mail  = true or fale
Dailup = true or fale
WebHosting = true or fale
FTP = true or fale

And I have the following Data object:

1. ClientDataObject
ID
Name
Address
AcccountNumber

2. MailServiceDataObject
MailserviceID
ClientID
AccountNumber

3. DailUpDataObject
DailUpServiceID
ClientID
AccountNumber

4. WebHostingServiceDataObject
WebHostingServiceID
ClientID
AccountNumber

5. FTPServiceDataObject
FTPServiceID
ClientID
AccountNumber

What I want to do is based on the values of the folliwng boolean in the Transfer Object:
Mail  = true or fale
Dailup = true or fale
WebHosting = true or fale
FTP = true or fale
I create or not create the DataObject respectivetly. 

Can you help how it can b achieved by the custom convertor?
