How to map objects when source object has custom method for Getter? #2753
Description
I'm using a specific framework(it's called TeamCenter), I want to use this library to map from that framework's object to my custom DTO.
However, this framework's model class is ModelObject and to get values from the object, I have to call method like this =>
modelObject.getPropertyDisplayableValue("propertyName");
How can I achieve this with MapStruct?
I created a Mapper class like below.
@Mapper
public interface ProjectMapper {
ProjectMapper INSTANCE = Mappers.getMapper(ProjectMapper.class);
@Mapping(target = "id", source = "prg0PlanId")
ProjectDto toDto(ModelObject projectModel) throws NotLoadedException;
}
The only working way is to use expression.
@Mapper
public interface ProjectMapper {
ProjectMapper INSTANCE = Mappers.getMapper(ProjectMapper.class);
@Mapping(target = "id", expression = "java(projectModel.getPropertyDisplayableValue(\"prg0PlanId\")")
ProjectDto toDto(ModelObject projectModel) throws NotLoadedException;
}
But, I think this is not the advantage to use MapStruct.
I want to use something like this.
@Mapper
public interface ProjectMapper {
ProjectMapper INSTANCE = Mappers.getMapper(ProjectMapper.class);
@Mapping(target = "id", source = "prg0PlanId", qualifiedByName = "getPropertyDisplayableValue")
ProjectDto toDto(ModelObject projectModel) throws NotLoadedException;
@Named("getPropertyDisplayableValue")
static String getPropertyDisplayableValue(ModelObject modelObject, String source) throws NotLoadedException {
return modelObject.getPropertyDisplayableValue(source);
}
}
But, I noticed there are no workarounds something like this.
I also don't want to manually implement mapping method something like this.
What I need is just specifying custom method to get values from source object.
Am I missing something or this is not available with MapStruct?
Thanks for helps.
