Dozer Custom-Converter instances

[foma....@gmail.com]

Hello

I got a question regarding instances of custom converters.

Debugging I found out that dozer does not use the same instance of custom converter per request.

May I rest assured knowing that dozer uses a new instance of custom converter each time it is required so that, say, I can save some information in instance fields?

In other words may I use it as a statefull instance?

I didn't find anything about it in the documentation.

Or if I just missed it, could you please point me to the place in the docs?

Thank you.

Hi,

It is possible to set instances of custom converters on DozerMapper object.

In this case mapper will take those instead creating new instance every time.

Regards,

Dmitry

But be careful with the MapperAware interface.
AFAIK instead of storing the Mapper into an instance variable "Mapper mapper" you must store it into a ThreadLocal instance Variable "ThreadLocal<Mapper> mapper".

 

Reason:
The Mapper contains already mapped entities which will be used to solve circular dependencies.
If two mapping processes runs at the same time, and the same Converter instance is used, the entities could be mixed up.

 

Regards,
Harald

So, in a simple case like the following:

<field custom-converter="com.example.Mapper">

      <a>aField</a>

      <b>bField</b>

</field>

Is it guaranteed that Dozer will create a new instance each time?
