dozer与BeanUtils

呵呵,在《develope J2EE without EJB》中,DTO被狠很地批判了一把,rod说这完全是反模式。可实际项目当中,我们还是不得不在使用。VO,PO,一牵扯到概念总是多么复杂。。。把一个PO从头传到尾??从页面到数据库,一捅到底?NO,NO,万一你要显示给用户的是几个PO的结合怎么办?万一我们只是需要某几个属性组合在一起显示怎么办?一捅到底的策略是多么丑陋,而且你完全把你的数据库设计模型暴露给用户。所以我们需要一些map工具来转换,在这方面,过去我只知道有个BeanUtils,不够灵活,而今天,接触了下dozer,啊,跟spring一样的理念!灵活多变,你想怎么映射,想怎么换都可以。看看它支持的转换类型:

• Primitive to Primitive Wrapper
• Primitive to Custom Wrapper
• Primitive Wrapper to Primitive Wrapper

• Primitive to Primitive
• Complex Type to Complex Type
• String to Primitive
• String to Primitive Wrapper
• String to Complex Type if the Complex Type contains a String constructor
• Each of these can be mapped to one another: java.util.Date, java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time,
java.sql.Timestamp, java.util.Calendar, java.util.GregorianCalendar
• String to any of the supported Date/Calendar Objects if an explicit date format mapping attribute is
specified.
• Objects containing a toString() method that produces a long representing time in (ms) to any
supported Date/Calendar object.

几乎我们能想到的,它都提供了方法来做到。而且dozer可以很容易地跟spring集成。下面举个简单例子:

定义一个Book对象:

package com.denny_blue.dozerdemo;
public class Book {
 private String name;
 private String author;
 
 
 public Book(){
  
 } 
 public void setAuthor(String author) {
  this.author = author;
 }

 public String getAuthor() {
  return (this.author);
 }
 public void setName(String name){
  this.name=name;
 } 
 public String getName(){
  return this.name;
 }
}
简单的,我们要实例化一个对象,然后clone此对象,注意,是clone!

package com.denny_blue.dozerdemo;
import net.sf.dozer.util.mapping.DozerBeanMapper;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;


public class MyFirstDozerDemo {
 public static void main(String args[]){
  Book book1=new Book();
  book1.setAuthor("dennis");
  book1.setName("dozer demo");
  DozerBeanMapper mapper=new DozerBeanMapper();
  Book book2=new Book();
  mapper.map(book1,book2);
  book2=(Book)mapper.map(book1,com.denny_blue.dozerdemo.Book.class);
  System.out.println("book2's name:"+book2.getName());
     }

OK,如此简单,我们把book1的属性完全复制给了book2,两者现在是完全独立的对象。可如果仅仅是这样,我们用BeanUtils不是也很容易办到?book2=(Book)BeanUtils.cloneBean(book1);可如果我要把book1映射给一个完全不同的类的对象怎么办?而且他们的属性名也不相同,怎么办?比如,一个CookBook类:

package com.denny_blue.dozerdemo;
public class CookBook {
 private String bookName;
 private String author;

 
 public CookBook(){}
 public String getBookName() {
  return (this.bookName);
 }

 public void setBookName(String bookName) {
  this.bookName = bookName;
 }

 public String getAuthor() {
  return (this.author);
 }

 public void setAuthor(String author) {
  this.author = author;
 }


}
它的bookName属性与Book的name属性名不一样,我们该如何复制?dozer通过xml文件的配置来灵活地达到这个目的。我们配置一个dozerBeanMapping.xml:


"http://dozer.sourceforge.net/dtd/dozerbeanmapping.dtd">


false
MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm
true


com.denny_blue.dozerdemo.Book
com.denny_blue.dozerdemo.CookBook

name
bookName


author
author


如上所示,指定所要复制的源对象,复制的目标对象,源对象的属性名,目标对象的属性名。wildcard默认为true,在此时默认对所有属性进行map,如果为false,则只对在xml文件中配置的属性进行map。此时的demo 看起来像这样:

package com.denny_blue.dozerdemo;
import net.sf.dozer.util.mapping.DozerBeanMapper;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;


public class MyFirstDozerDemo {
 public static void main(String args[]){
  Book book1=new Book();
  book1.setAuthor("dennis");
  book1.setName("dozer demo");
  DozerBeanMapper mapper=new DozerBeanMapper();
  book2=(Book)mapper.map(book1,com.denny_blue.dozerdemo.Book.class);
  CookBook cookBook=new CookBook();
  List myMappingFiles = new ArrayList();
  myMappingFiles.add("dozerBeanMapping.xml");
  mapper.setMappingFiles(myMappingFiles);
  cookBook=(CookBook)mapper.map(book1,CookBook.class);
  System.out.println("cookBook's name:"+   cookBook.getBookName()+"     cookBook's author:"+
                      cookBook.getAuthor());
 }
}

通过mapper.setMappingFiles()设置映射文件,可以添加多个配置文件,也可以把所有的映射写在一个配置文件里面。  更多复杂例子请见它自带的doc。
