How to map String values to a String list using Dozer?

Question

Hi I try to map following Source class in to following Destination class. I used following mapping in order to map string values in to the list string. It isn't mapping properly. I need to know how to map 2 string values into one destination string list using Dozer.

public class SourceClass {

  protected String streetName;
  protected String additionalStreetName;

}

public class Destination {

protected List<String> addressLine;

}

<mapping map-id="newId" >
<class-a>myPackage.SourceClass </class-a>
<class-b>myPackage.Destination</class-b> 

  <field>
    <a>streetName</a>
    <b>addressLine[0]</b>
  </field>
   <field>
    <a>additionalStreetName</a>
    <b>addressLine[1]</b>
  </field> 
</mapping>

This is the answer that I am come up with..

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.dozer.DozerConverter;
import org.dozer.Mapper;
import org.dozer.MapperAware;

public class TestConverter extends DozerConverter<String, List>
    implements MapperAware {

public TestConverter() {
    super(String.class, List.class);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}


@Override
public void setMapper(Mapper mapper) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

@Override
public List convertTo(String source, List destination) {
    if (source == null) {
         return new ArrayList<String>();
    }
    if (destination == null) {
         destination = new ArrayList<String>();
    }

    //destination.getAddressLine().add(source.getAdditionalStreetName());
    destination.add(source);
    return destination;
}



@Override
public String convertFrom(List source, String destination) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

}

===============In dozerMapper.xml under configuration===========================

   <custom-converters>
    <converter 
        type="company.realMap.TestConverter">
        <class-a>desAdv.SourceClass</class-a>
        <class-b>abcReq.Destination</class-b>
    </converter> 

===============In dozerMapper.xml under mapping==========================

  <field custom-converter="myPackage.TestConverter">
    <a>streetName</a>  
    <b>addressLine</b>
    </field>
  <field custom-converter="myPackage.TestConverter">
    <a>additionalStreetName</a>  
    <b>addressLine</b>
