Mapping metadata information

[vguna]

Hi.

I'm thinking about switching from Dozer to your mapper.
One important aspect that needs to be fulfilled for this is, having information about the actual mappings during runtime.

Currently, I have my DTOs and my Entities where the mapping is done for.
I've created a generic way to formulate REST queries (using the DTOs) that are then transformed into JPA queries (Entities) based on the mappings.
So e.g. I need to know, that dto.name came from entity.name. Or that dto.address.street came from entity.customer.address.street - including type information.

My question is: is such mapping information currently available via the mapper API?

Hi @vguna,
We are working on issue #28 to allow analysis of this type. Currently there are no features that allow it.
