Java Bean Mapper is part of the Apache Commons BeanUtils library from the Apache Software Foundation. This project provides useful tools around the standard JavaBeans Component API with reflection-based *java.beans.Introspector* mechanism of mapping. The mapping under the hood is provided by the *org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils* class. Can only be used for simple and not profound mappings.
