Copy Only String properties from one object to another

Question

I was working with dozer and I had a special scenario which I think dozer doesn't support. Suppose I have a class with different type of properties like String,Ingeger and other primitive types. Now I want to copy only string property from this class to another. Here s a example code :(Its very brief, but it will give proper understanding of problem.)

Class Source{
private int a;
private boolean b;
private String s1;
//more properties with primitive type.

}
Class Destination{
//    same structure
}

Now I want somethink like,

DozerBeanMapper mapper = new DozerBeanMapper();
//    initialize Object of source
//   initialize Object of destination
mapper.map(source,destination);

Is it possible with any dozer ? I am familiar with dozer. But Oper to other APIs like apache beanutil or ModelMapper. Feel free to answer in any of this technology.

Use populate() and setProperty() of Apache Commons BeanUtils.

First populate() an empty bean, than, you can apply an if condition as:

if (urBean.getAParameter() instanceof String){
    setProperty(newBeanObject, "propertyName", urBean.getParameter());
}
