MapStruct 1.4.0.Beta3 is out

By Filip Hrisafov, Sjaak Derksen under release news

Today we release a new beta version of MapStruct 1.4.0. We are very happy to have received good feedback from our users. However, it is like always when writing software bugs are made and are there to be solved. So what did we tackle in 1.4.0.Beta3

  • Improve selection of mapping constructor
  • Improve error messages for 2 step mapping methods
  • Fix various bugs and regressions in relation to 2 step mappings

7 issues were fixed for this release.

Thanks to our MapStruct community for being vigilant. The MapStruct authors: Filip Hrisafov, Christian Bandowski, Andrei Arlou and Sjaak Derksen.

Thank you everyone for all your hard work!

Improve selection of mapping constructor

In this release we improved the selection of a mapping constructor. Now the following rules apply:

  • If a constructor is annotated with an annotation named @Default (from any package) it will be used.
  • If a single public constructor exists then it will be used to construct the object, and the other non public constructors will be ignored.
  • If a parameterless constructor exists then it will be used to construct the object, and the other constructors will be ignored.
  • If there are multiple eligible constructors then there will be a compilation error due to ambigious constructors. In order to break the ambiquity an annotation named @Default (from any package) can used.
