------------------------------------
Summary: Camel Bindy, marshaling CSV with more fields than Model
Key: CAMEL-18512
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-18512
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Wish
Components: camel-bindy
Affects Versions: 3.18.2
Reporter: Jussi Wallin
Our project has a use-case for Bindy where we would like to define a Model POJO
that has less fields than the resulting CSV would have. We tried to achieve
this by defining a model with the proper annotations and using the "pos"
parameter in the DataField annotations.
For example you might want to define one field at position 4 and another at
position 6. The resulting CSV should then contain an empty field at position 5.
We used BeanIO previously and it supported this use-case. Adding dummy fields
is fine in simple cases but when a CSV exceeds 100 fields, of which a couple
dozen are used, it becomes very cumbersome to handle.
Specifically the unmarshal obviously works fine, but we are trying to marshal
in this case. We are transitioning to using Bindy for all CSV handling and ran
into this problem. I believe this would be useful generally.
Sample project that illustrates this case:
