I have a spring application that uses the modelmapper to convert between the entity and the DTO objects. I have a String in the DTO that represents a ZonedDateTime object in the Entity. I have written the following snippet in the SpringAppConfiguration
@Bean
public ModelMapper contactModelMapper() {
Converter<String, ZonedDateTime> toZonedDateTimeString = new AbstractConverter<String, ZonedDateTime>() {
@Override
public ZonedDateTime convert(String source) {
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
LocalDateTime datel = LocalDateTime.parse(source, formatter);
ZonedDateTime result = datel.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());
return result;
}
};
Converter<ZonedDateTime, String> toStringZonedDateTime = new AbstractConverter<ZonedDateTime, String>() {
@Override
public String convert(ZonedDateTime source) {
String result = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(source);
return result;
}
};
PropertyMap<Contact, ContactDTO> contactDTOmap = new PropertyMap<Contact, ContactDTO>() {
@Override
protected void configure() {
map().setTenantId(source.getTenant().getTenantId());
//if (source.getCreatedDateTime() != null) map().setCreatedDateTime(source.getCreatedDateTime());
//when(Conditions.isNotNull()).map(source.getCreatedDateTime(), map().getCreatedDateTime());
}
};
/* this is for userDTO to BO.. */
PropertyMap<ContactDTO, Contact> contactMap = new PropertyMap<ContactDTO, Contact>() {
@Override
protected void configure() {
map().getTenant().setTenantId(source.getTenantId());
}
};
ModelMapper contactModelMapper = new ModelMapper();
contactModelMapper.addMappings(contactDTOmap);
contactModelMapper.addMappings(contactMap);
contactModelMapper.addConverter(toStringZonedDateTime);
contactModelMapper.addConverter(toZonedDateTimeString);
return contactModelMapper;
}
As you can see there are 2 converters. The one that changes from DTO string to the ZonedDateTime object in entity does not get executed at all. The one for vice versa conversion is executing properly.
I would appreciate any help, any suggessions for this.
Thanks
