Exclude FieldMap in one direction

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to suppress a mapping of a field (no primitive type) in only one 
direction (MappingDirection.A_TO_B should be excluded)

My source code for this is:

ClassMapBuilder.map( A.class, B.class ).fieldMap( "anyField" 
).aToB().exclude().add();

The result is no mapping in both directions.

Another try is to explicitly add the mapping only for direction B_TO_A.

ClassMapBuilder.map( A.class, B.class ).fieldMap( "anyField" ).bToA().add();

This is working.

I'm using Orika 1.1.7

Best regards
Tom

In fact, exclude is used to exclude mapping in both direction.
use aToB or bToA instead.

OK ... but it would be logical. I can add a FielMap in one direction ... so why 
not excluding a FieldMap for one direction.

Both lines of code should do the same:

ClassMapBuilder.map( A.class, B.class ).fieldMap( "anyField" ).aToB().exclude();
ClassMapBuilder.map( A.class, B.class ).fieldMap( "anyField" ).bToA().add();

Anyway ... it works with the second line.

In the FieldMapBuilder exclude is just a flag (boolean) 
Do you have any suggestions/critics  for documentation

Documentation for this feature would be good. (It's totally missing)

Btw ... cool API ... good job

Thx
