How to map collections in Dozer

Question

I\'d like to do something like:

ArrayList objects = new ArrayList();
...
DozerBeanMapper MAPPER = new DozerBeanMapper         


        

Answer 1

Not really an improvement, more like a syntactic sugar that can be achieved thanks to Guava (and most likely similar thing is possible with Apache Commons):

final List mapped = Lists.newArrayList(Iterables.transform(inputList, new Function() {
    @Override public MyPojo apply(final MyEntity arg) {
        return mapper.map(arg, MyPojo.class);
    }
}));

This can also be turned into a generic function - as suggested in other answers.
