> Key: ZEST-22
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEST-22
> Project: Zest
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Niclas Hedhman
> Assignee: Niclas Hedhman
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> Rickard added the support for handling Associations in Values, and we also
> now have the full support of sharing super-types between Entities and Values.
> So, it would make sense that if I declare the assembly;
> module.entities( Person.class );
> module.values( Person.class );
> that I could do;
> Person entity = ...;
> Person value = api.toValue( Person,class, entity );
> as well as the other way around;
> Person value = ...;
> Person entity = api.toEntity( Person.class, entity );
> The implementation of this is fairly small and straight forward, and I have
> most of it in place in my project already, but I think it really belongs in
> the API itself, as this would be super-neat for Rest APIs and other work
> outside of UnitOfWorks.
