Dozer is a complete mapping framework with various type conversions and customization techniques. Uses the standard reflection-based JavaBeans Component API *java.beans.Introspector* mechanism to generate the mappings and can work through the objects recursively. Can be extensively configured via an XML file. Quick and easy-to-use configuration mappings with individual technical aspects.
