Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
BUILT_IN_CONVERSION Controls the mapping, allows for type conversion from source type to target type
COMPLEX_MAPPING Controls the mapping from source to target type, allows mapping by calling: A type conversion, passed into a mapping method A mapping method, passed into a type conversion A mapping method passed into another mapping method
DIRECT Controls the mapping, allows for a direct mapping from source type to target type.
MAPPING_METHOD Controls the mapping, allows for Direct Mapping from source type to target type.

Enum Constant Detail

BUILT_IN_CONVERSION

public static final MappingControl.Use BUILT_IN_CONVERSION

Controls the mapping, allows for type conversion from source type to target type

Type conversions are typically supported directly in Java. The "toString()" is such an example, which allows for mapping for instance a Number type to a String.

Please refer to the MapStruct guide for more info.

Since:

1.4

COMPLEX_MAPPING

public static final MappingControl.Use COMPLEX_MAPPING

Controls the mapping from source to target type, allows mapping by calling:

1. A type conversion, passed into a mapping method
2. A mapping method, passed into a type conversion
3. A mapping method passed into another mapping method

Since:

1.4

DIRECT

public static final MappingControl.Use DIRECT

Controls the mapping, allows for a direct mapping from source type to target type.

This means if source type and target type are of the same type, MapStruct will not perform any mappings anymore and assign the target to the source direct.

An exception are types from the package java, which will be mapped always directly.

Since:

1.4

MAPPING_METHOD

public static final MappingControl.Use MAPPING_METHOD

Controls the mapping, allows for Direct Mapping from source type to target type.

The mapping method can be either a custom referred mapping method, or a MapStruct built in mapping method.

Since:

1.4

Method Detail

values

public static MappingControl.Use[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (MappingControl.Use c : MappingControl.Use.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static MappingControl.Use valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
