= Dozer Extension

*Since Camel Quarkus 0.5.0*

The Dozer component provides the ability to map between Java beans using the http://camel.apache.org/dozer-type-conversion.html[Dozer] mapping framework.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their `pom.xml` for this extension.

[source,xml]
------------------------------------------------------------
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-quarkus-dozer</artifactId>
</dependency>
------------------------------------------------------------

== Usage

The extension provides support for the Camel https://camel.apache.org/components/latest/dozer-component.html[Dozer Component].

=== Configuration

The Dozer extension can automatically register a `DozerBeanMapperConfiguration` bean with the Camel registry which references your mapping files.

Use the following configuration property to specify the location(s) of your Dozer mapping configuration files.

[source,properties]
----
quarkus.camel.dozer.mapping-files = dozerMappings.xml,file:foo/bar/custom-mappings.xml,http://foo/bar/mapping.xml
----

The Dozer extension provides a type converter which can leverage your mapping configuration(s) to convert and map a message body
from one type to another. For example.

    from("direct:oldCustomerTypeIn").convertBodyTo(NewCustomerType.class);

It is disabled by default but can be enabled with the following configuration property.

[source,properties]
----
quarkus.camel.dozer.type-converter-enabled = true
----
