Ok. I solved this..

I put the file in resources/META-INF/dozerBeanMapping.xml and accessed the file by using:

String file = "META-INF/dozerBeanMapping.xml";

DozerBeanMapper mapper = new DozerBeanMapper(Arrays.asList(new String[]{file}));

I hope this will help you guys as well.

You're using String file = "C:/..." and the error mentions it doesn't recognize C as a valid protocol.

You should try using file://C:/... instead - it may help. If that doesn't, try using double backslashes (C:\\UnitTest\\...) and if that doesn't work just upload the file somewhere

I really doubt that you are getting a "unknown protocol: c" error when you use a file:// URL. – Tom van der Woerdt Dec 03 '11 at 21:45

It worked with little correction with forward slashes instead of backward slashes. String file = "file:\\C:\\temp\\mapping.xml"; DozerBeanMapper mapper = new DozerBeanMapper(Arrays.asList(new String[]{file})); TargetEmployee destObject = mapper.map(sourceEmp, TargetEmployee.class); – Rafi Dec 05 '11 at 09:24

Those are backward slashes mate :-) – Tom van der Woerdt Dec 05 '11 at 10:24

:-) i know but it worked with file:\\C:\\ not with file://C:// – Rafi Dec 05 '11 at 13:23
