Most of java application developped using the layer paradigm needs to map java beans to java beans. This process is used to exchange data between the different layers of the application. As an example, the well known Data Transfer Object Pattern which is used to transfer data between software application subsystems heavily uses mapping between beans of the different layers Transfer.
The mapping between beans includes :
- Mapping of object fields,
- Complexe property mapping (property that consists of field of subclasses),
- Collection mapping,
- subclass mapping,
- conversion during the mapping.
The mapping is specified byDynamic Specific Language (DSL). Using DSL in an IDE like Eclipse, IntelliJ, Netbeans, ..., simplifies the development of the mapping thanks to the syntax and type checking of the IDE.
