public interface MapperFacade

The main runtime interface between a Java application and Orika. This is the central interface abstracting the service of a Java bean mapping.

The main operation of MapperFacade is map() that copy from a deeply structured one object to an other.

MapperFacade manages the state of a mapping operation through MappingContext.
The operation of mapping may include :

  • Creation of new objects : newObject()
  • Conversion object to another type: convert()
  • Mapping recursively an object to an other class : map()

Example of code to map an instance of Entity ( entity ) to DTO class:

… DTO newDTO = mapperFacade.map(entity, DTO.class); …

Pelo que entendi então por exemplo.

Tenho uma entidade EstadoEntity e EstadoDTO, eu converto de um para o outro, mesmo que nela exista objetos diferentes com o mesmo nome ?
