Mapping of XML data to/from a java object(s) using Dozer

Question

Test mapping of XML data to/from a java object(s) using dozer.

That is, given a sample XML file , map this to new java classes with appropriate get/set methods for the various elements

A sample XML file is given below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<cXML payloadID="1272549644772.1050674118.000000197@2Vmg9c/TnwT1ZqGdAuiHQvbDmNc=" timestamp="2010-04-29T07:00:44-07:00" version="1.2.020">
        <Header>
                <From>
                        <Credential domain="Test_Code">
                                <Identity>ID_SYSTEM</Identity>
                        </Credential>
                </From>
                <To>
                        <Credential domain="Test_Code">
                                <Identity>ID_SYSTEM</Identity>
                        </Credential>
                </To>
                <Sender>
                        <Credential domain="AribaNetworkUserId">
                                <Identity>test.test@sial.com</Identity>
                                <SharedSecret>sigma123</SharedSecret>
                        </Credential>
                        <UserAgent>Sender Application 1.0</UserAgent>
                </Sender>
        </Header>
</cXML>

Basic dozer mapping is really easy, if the attributes have same name / type it will map auto:

<mapping>
    <class-a>org.dozer.vo.TestObject</class-a>
    <class-b>org.dozer.vo.TestObjectPrime</class-b>
</mapping>

If you have some different named attributes:

<mapping> 
    <class-a>org.dozer.vo.TestObject</class-a>
    <class-b>org.dozer.vo.TestObjectPrime</class-b>   
    <field>
      <a>one</a>
      <b>onePrime</b>
    </field>
</mapping>

For more info you can find in the user guide and examples of XML mappings
