orika default mapping breaks when registering classMap with only byDefault()

[hohwille]

Any updates? Is Orika buggy and dead?

[elaatifi]

It's not dead but time is a limited resource sorry if you're issue got ignored but you can also try the pull request, it's more helpful than the last comment :)

I finally figured out, why Orika refused to map all fields in our test-case. Per default Orika only maps the fields declared in the target class (B.class). Fields declared in a class, which is implementing or extending B.class are being ignored. In order to change this behaviour you need to add favorExtension(true), e.g. mapper.classMap(A.class, B.class).favorExtension(true).byDefault().register().

I am still trying to find out, why Orika refuses to use the custom mapper, when PersistenceEntity.class is used in our test-case.

@hohwille the link is not available anymore.
the issue is still valid?

I think this is still an issue.

@Component
class MatrixAccountDataMapper {

    def configure(MapperFactory mapperFactory) {
        mapperFactory.classMap(MatrixAccountLookup.class, PlanTradeConfirm.class)
            .byDefault()
            .register()
    }
}

Exception thrown when calling mapperFacade.map()...

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access class sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader from class sun.misc.Orika_AppClassLoader_AppClassLoader_Mapper37836166146992$4

After removing byDefault() and adding in explicit field() methods/builders, it works as expected.

[jndietz]

Adding exclude("metaClass") and byDefault() works. Was shown by a coworker, but not sure exactly why that fixes it. I am mapping between two JPA entities in my example. Additionally, these are Groovy classes, so that probably has something to do with it.
