context mapping- No ClassMap found for mapId

[Yariva]

Hi
I have a problem with context mapping -
the XML file have the following mappings:

<mapping map-id="requestMessage">
    <class-a>newAPI.Question</class-a>
    <class-b>oldAPI.QuestionStruct</class-b>
    <field>
        <a>questionId</a>
        <b>Question_id</b>
    </field>
    <field>
        <a>questionText</a>
        <b>Question_text</b>
    </field>
    <field> <!-- this is a diffrent map -->
        <a>userAnswer</a>
        <b>answer_text</b>
    </field>   
</mapping>

<mapping map-id="responseMessage">
    <class-a>newAPI.Question</class-a>
    <class-b>oldAPI.QuestionStruct</class-b>
    <field>
        <a>questionId</a>
        <b>Question_id</b>
    </field>
    <field>
        <a>questionText</a>
        <b>Question_text</b>
    </field>           
    <field> <!-- -->
        <a>actualAnswer</a>
        <b>answer_text</b>
    </field>   
</mapping>
   
and the code that i run for the mapping is:
mapper.map(oldObject, (NewResponse)newObject, "responseMessage");

the mapping does not work, and i get this WARN in the log:
17:00:37,065  WARN ClassMapFinder:68 - No ClassMap found for mapId:responseMessage

what could be the reason for that?

BTW, I've also tried to do a field level mapping, but it didn't worked as well.

Any Help?

Sorry, the above example does work! - i had a problem with Tomcat.

On the other-hand, the field's context mapping does not work.
below is the XML I'm using (I think it's better then having 2 mappings for the same classes). in this example I'm using map-id on the field level. but dozer does not find the map -
09:35:01,645  WARN ClassMapFinder:68 - No ClassMap found for mapId:responseMessage

<mapping>
  <class-a>newAPI.Question</class-a>
  <class-b>oldAPI.QuestionStruct</class-b>
    <field>
      <a>questionId</a>
      <b>Question_id</b>
   </field>
   <field>
     <a>questionText</a>
     <b>Question_text</b>
   </field> 

   <field map-id="requestMessage">
     <a>userAnswer</a>
     <b>answer_text</b>
   </field>
  
   <field map-id="responseMessage">
     <a>actualAnswer</a>
     <b>answer_text</b>
   </field> 
</mapping>

any idea?

Can you submit a simple unit test that reproduces the field context mapping issue you are seeing?  We do have existing unit tests for field context mapping that run green, so I am not sure what the difference is with your use case
