Annotation Type ValueMapping

  • @Repeatable(ValueMappings.class)
@Retention(CLASS)
@Target(METHOD)
public @interface ValueMapping
    Configures the mapping of source constant value to target constant value.

    Supported mappings are

    1. Enumeration to Enumeration
    Example 1: 
    
 public enum OrderType { RETAIL, B2B, C2C, EXTRA, STANDARD, NORMAL }

 public enum ExternalOrderType { RETAIL, B2B, SPECIAL, DEFAULT }

 @ValueMapping(target = "SPECIAL", source = "EXTRA"),
 @ValueMapping(target = "DEFAULT", source = "STANDARD"),
 @ValueMapping(target = "DEFAULT", source = "NORMAL")
 ExternalOrderType orderTypeToExternalOrderType(OrderType orderType);
 
 Mapping result:
 +---------------------+----------------------------+
 | OrderType           | ExternalOrderType          |
 +---------------------+----------------------------+
 | null                | null                       |
 | OrderType.EXTRA     | ExternalOrderType.SPECIAL  |
 | OrderType.STANDARD  | ExternalOrderType.DEFAULT  |
 | OrderType.NORMAL    | ExternalOrderType.DEFAULT  |
 | OrderType.RETAIL    | ExternalOrderType.RETAIL   |
 | OrderType.B2B       | ExternalOrderType.B2B      |
 +---------------------+----------------------------+
    Example 2: 
    
 @ValueMapping( source = MappingConstants.NULL, target = "DEFAULT" ),
 @ValueMapping( source = "STANDARD", target = MappingConstants.NULL ),
 @ValueMapping( source = MappingConstants.ANY_REMAINING, target = "SPECIAL" )
 ExternalOrderType orderTypeToExternalOrderType(OrderType orderType);
 
 Mapping result:
 +---------------------+----------------------------+
 | OrderType           | ExternalOrderType          |
 +---------------------+----------------------------+
 | null                | ExternalOrderType.DEFAULT  |
 | OrderType.STANDARD  | null                       |
 | OrderType.RETAIL    | ExternalOrderType.RETAIL   |
 | OrderType.B2B       | ExternalOrderType.B2B      |
 | OrderType.NORMAL    | ExternalOrderType.SPECIAL  |
 | OrderType.EXTRA     | ExternalOrderType.SPECIAL  |
 +---------------------+----------------------------+
    Example 3: MapStruct will WARN on incomplete mappings. However, if for some reason no match is found, an IllegalStateException will be thrown. This compile-time error can be avoided by using MappingConstants.THROW_EXCEPTION for target(). It will result an IllegalArgumentException at runtime. 
    
 @ValueMapping( source = "STANDARD", target = "DEFAULT" ),
 @ValueMapping( source = "C2C", target = MappingConstants.THROW_EXCEPTION )
 ExternalOrderType orderTypeToExternalOrderType(OrderType orderType);
 
 Mapping result:
 IllegalArgumentException with the error message:
 Unexpected enum constant: C2C
