Natural mapping with Enum to String

[vie...@yahoo.fr]

Hello,

I'm starting to use Selma Mapping.

So far, so good, everything is working fine beside the compatibility with Lombok annotation (very useful for boiler plate code like getter setter ...) and a few time where I forgot to regenerate the mapper implementation.

Most of the time I'm using natural mapping (the attribute's name are the same).

I've recently tried to map an Enum to a String

Example :

public enum NumberEnum { ONE, TWO; }

public SourceBean {
   private NumberEnum myNumber;
}

public DestinationBean {
   private String myNumber;
}

Shouldn't the default behavior for the mapping be : the function name() ?

To get such behavior, I had to write a custom mapper :

public class EnumCustomMapper {
    public String myNumberAsString(NumberEnum source) {
        return source.name();
    }
}

Is there an easier way ?

Cheers
