I am using mapstruct to map from one DTO to another. I have multiple default methods , but 2 of them with a return value of String and that uses the same class as the input parameter gives me "Ambiguous mapping methods using java Mapstruct" error.
public class Action implements Serializable {
[...]
private String statusHistory;
[...]
private String propertiesOriginal;
private String propertiesEdited;
// Setter, Getter, ecc..
}
public class ActionDTO implements Serializable {
...
private Map<String, Integer> statusHistory = new HashMap<>();
...
private Object propertiesOriginal;
private Object propertiesEdited;
// Setter, Getter, ecc..
}
@Mapper(componentModel = "spring", uses = {})
public interface ActionMapper extends EntityMapper<ActionDTO, Action> {
default Map toMap(String text) throws IOException {
Map map = new HashMap();
try{
map = new ObjectMapper().readValue(text, new TypeReference<Map<String, Integer>>(){});
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return map;
}
default String fromMap(Map map){
return new JSONObject(map).toString();
}
[...]
default Object toObject(String text) throws IOException {
return new ObjectMapper().readValue(text, Object.class);
}
default String fromObject(Object object) throws IOException {
return new ObjectMapper().convertValue(object, String.class);
}
[...]
}
Error:(16, 7) java: Ambiguous mapping methods found for mapping property "java.lang.String statusHistory" to java.util.Map: java.util.Map toMap(java.lang.String text), java.lang.Object toObject(java.lang.String text).
