Dozer MappingException NoSuchMethodException init

Question

I'm in code of a project. I got a error when I try to convert a object RRREC type into RR_REC type.

The RRREC class:

 public class RRREC{
    protected String owner;
    protected RRINFRATYPE infraType;
    // getter and setter
 }

The RR_REC class:

public class RR_REC{
    protected String localOwner;
    protected RR_INFRA_TYPE localInfraType;
    // getter and setter
}

The RRINFRATYPE class:

public enum RRINFRATYPE {

  V_6_ADDRESS("V6ADDRESS"),
  OBJECT("OBJECT"),
  ZONE("ZONE"),
  V_4_REVERSEZONE("V4REVERSEZONE"),
  V_6_REVERSEZONE("V6REVERSEZONE"),
  NODE("NODE"),
  ALL("ALL");
  private final String value;

  RRINFRATYPE(String v) {
     value = v;
  }

  public String value() {
    return value;
  }

  public static RRINFRATYPE fromValue(String v) {
    for (RRINFRATYPE c: RRINFRATYPE.values()) {
        if (c.value.equals(v)) {
            return c;
        }
    }
    throw new IllegalArgumentException(v);
   }
}

And the RR_INFRA_TYPE:

public class RR_INFRA_TYPE{
   protected String localRR_INFRA_TYPE;
   private static java.util.HashMap _table_ = new java.util.HashMap();

   // Constructor
   protected RR_INFRA_TYPE(String value, boolean isRegisterValue) {
    localRR_INFRA_TYPE = value;
    if (isRegisterValue) {
        _table_.put(localRR_INFRA_TYPE, this);
    }
}

When I debug code

// getMapper will return DozerBeanMapper object
// and request is a RRREC object
getMapper().map(request, RR_REC.class);

I got a error, below is stack trace

Answer 1

Dozer normally expects a default constructor. Your class RR_INFRA_TYPE doesn't have one as you defined a constructor other than the default constructor.

To tell dozer how to instanciate your target class you have to implement a custom bean factory. There you can initialize all parameters needed for your RR_INFRA_TYPE object and this instance will be further processed/filled by dozer then.
