How to use Dozer with Spring Boot?

Question

I am working on a Spring Boot project. I just have annotation configuration. I want to include dozer to transform Entities to DTO and DTO to Entities. I see in the dozer web

Just in case someone wants to avoid xml dozer file. You can use a builder directly in java. For me it's the way to go in a annotation Spring context.

See more information at mapping api dozer

    @Bean
public DozerBeanMapper mapper() throws Exception {
    DozerBeanMapper mapper = new DozerBeanMapper();
    mapper.addMapping(objectMappingBuilder);
    return mapper;
}

BeanMappingBuilder objectMappingBuilder = new BeanMappingBuilder() {
    @Override
    protected void configure() {
        mapping(Bean1.class, Bean2.class)
                .fields("id", "id").fields("name", "name");
    }
};

In my case it was more efficient (At least the first time). Didn't do any benchmark or anything.
