MapStruct Spring Extensions 0.0.3 released

It is my pleasure to announce the third official release of MapStruct Spring Extensions. What started out as a StackOverflow question turned into its own (sub-)project within the MapStruct organization.

This third release fixes a circular dependency issue which occurred in non-trivial mapper hierarchies and would lead to mappers being hidden from the ConversionService. Kudos go to Daniel Shiplett and Alexey for their help in chasing down the cause and resolving the issue.

Including the annotations and extensions defined in this project will generate a class acting as bridge between MapStruct’s conventions and Spring’s ConversionService API that in turn can be added to any Mapper’s uses attribute. See the examples for details.

Thanks

Thanks to Sjaak Derksen for suggesting this solution and Filip Hrisafov for opening the community project. If you feel like there’s something missing in MapStruct which could make the Spring experience any smoother, please get involved!

Also, if your favourite library or framework could use some tweaking with regard to MapStruct, contact us.

Happy coding with MapStruct Spring Extensions!
