public @interface MapMapping

Configures the mapping between two map types, e.g. Map<String, String> and Map<Long, Date>.

Note: at least one element needs to be specified

Element Detail

keyDateFormat

public abstract String keyDateFormat

A format string as processable by SimpleDateFormat if the annotated method maps from a map with key type String to an map with key type Date or vice-versa. Will be ignored for all other key types.

Returns:

A date format string as processable by SimpleDateFormat.

Default:

""

valueDateFormat

public abstract String valueDateFormat

A format string as processable by SimpleDateFormat if the annotated method maps from a map with value type String to an map with value type Date or vice-versa. Will be ignored for all other value types.

Returns:

A date format string as processable by SimpleDateFormat.

Default:

""

keyNumberFormat

public abstract String keyNumberFormat

A format string as processable by DecimalFormat if the annotated method maps from a Number to a String or vice-versa. Will be ignored for all other key types.

Returns:

A decimal format string as processable by DecimalFormat.

Default:

""

valueNumberFormat

public abstract String valueNumberFormat

A format string as processable by DecimalFormat if the annotated method maps from a Number to a String or vice-versa. Will be ignored for all other value types.

Returns:

A decimal format string as processable by DecimalFormat.

Default:

""

keyQualifiedBy

public abstract Class<? extends Annotation>[] keyQualifiedBy

A key value qualifier can be specified to aid the selection process of a suitable mapper. This is useful in case multiple mappers (hand written of internal) qualify and result in an 'Ambiguous mapping methods found' error. A qualifier is a custom annotation and can be placed on either a hand written mapper class or a method.

Returns:

the qualifiers

Default:

{}

keyQualifiedByName

public abstract String[] keyQualifiedByName

String-based form of qualifiers; When looking for a suitable mapping method to map this map mapping method's key type, MapStruct will only consider those methods carrying directly or indirectly (i.e. on the class-level) a Named annotation for each of the specified qualifier names.

Note that annotation-based qualifiers are generally preferable as they allow more easily to find references and are safe for refactorings, but name-based qualifiers can be a less verbose alternative when requiring a large number of qualifiers as no custom annotation types are needed.

Returns:

One or more qualifier name(s)

See Also:

keyQualifiedBy(), Named

Default:

{}

valueQualifiedBy

public abstract Class<? extends Annotation>[] valueQualifiedBy

A value qualifier can be specified to aid the selection process of a suitable mapper for the values in the map. This is useful in case multiple mappers (hand written of internal) qualify and result in an 'Ambiguous mapping methods found' error.

A qualifier is a custom annotation and can be placed on either a hand written mapper class or a method.

Returns:

the qualifiers

Default:

{}

valueQualifiedByName

public abstract String[] valueQualifiedByName

String-based form of qualifiers; When looking for a suitable mapping method to map this map mapping method's value type, MapStruct will only consider those methods carrying directly or indirectly (i.e. on the class-level) a Named annotation for each of the specified qualifier names.

Note that annotation-based qualifiers are generally preferable as they allow more easily to find references and are safe for refactorings, but name-based qualifiers can be a less verbose alternative when requiring a large number of qualifiers as no custom annotation types are needed.

Returns:

One or more qualifier name(s)

See Also:

valueQualifiedBy(), Named

Default:

{}

keyTargetType

public abstract Class<?> keyTargetType

Specifies the type of the key to be used in the result of the mapping method in case multiple mapping methods qualify.

Returns:

the resultType to select

Default:

void.class

valueTargetType

public abstract Class<?> valueTargetType

Specifies the type of the value to be used in the result of the mapping method in case multiple mapping methods qualify.

Returns:

the resultType to select

Default:

void.class

nullValueMappingStrategy

public abstract NullValueMappingStrategy nullValueMappingStrategy

The strategy to be applied when null is passed as source value to this map mapping. If no strategy is configured, the strategy given via MapperConfig.nullValueMappingStrategy() or Mapper.nullValueMappingStrategy() will be applied, using NullValueMappingStrategy.RETURN_NULL by default.

Returns:

The strategy to be applied when null is passed as source value to the methods of this mapping.

Default:

org.mapstruct.NullValueMappingStrategy.RETURN_NULL
