Copy pojo fields to another pojo's setters

Let's say I have class A with public fields x and y. And let's say I have another pojo class B but that uses setters and getters, so it has setX() and setY().

I'd like to use some automatic way to copy from instance of A to B and back.

With default settings at least, Dozer's 

   Mapper mapper = new DozerBeanMapper();
   B b = mapper.map(a, B.class);

does not copy the fields correctly.

So is there a simple configuration change that allows me to accomplish the above with Dozer, or another library that would do this for me?

Solution

  • I'd suggest you use:

    http://modelmapper.org/

    Or take a look at this question:

    Copy all values from fields in one class to another through reflection

    I'd say that both API's (BeanUtils) and ModelMapper provide one-liners for copy pojos' values to another pojos. Take a look @ this:
