Claus Ibsen updated CAMEL-8332:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.15.0
> Add component implementation to camel-dozer module
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CAMEL-8332
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-8332
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: camel-dozer
> Reporter: Keith Babo
> Fix For: 2.15.0
>
>
> The camel-dozer component does not actually provide a Camel component
> implementation today. Rather, it provides a converter loader which can be
> used in combination with a set of Dozer mapping files to register a global
> set of converters within a CamelContext. This issue proposes the addition of
> a full-blown component implementation within camel-dozer. Advantages of this
> approach include:
> * The ability to manage Dozer mapping configuration on a per-endpoint basis
> vs. global configuration via the converter registry.
> * Dozer handles direct field assignment quite well, but does not provide
> other common mapping functions OOTB. Camel can enrich Dozer via standard
> Dozer extensions, e.g.
> ** Mapping constant values to target fields
> ** Support for lookup tables, using the source value as the key
> ** Convenience transformations for mappings (e.g. trim spaces,
> convertToLowerCase, regular expression evaluation)
> ** Allow Camel message/exchange headers to be mapped to target fields
> * The ability to surround dozer mappings with data formats to support a
> single, any-to-any transformation endpoint
> Here's an example of what the endpoint configuration would look like.
> {noformat}
> dozer:mytransform?mappingFile=dozerBeanMapping.xml&marshalId=json&unmarshalId=jaxb&targetModel=example.MyObject
> {noformat}
> An initial implementation of this component is available as a PR against the
> Camel GitHub repository. Unit tests in the PR provide examples of various
> transformation use cases. Many, but not all, of the features listed above
> are implemented already. I can file follow-up JIRAs for additional features
> I have in mind. I will also post a link to the PR and the topic branch in
> the issue comments.
