BidirectionalConverter conversion between equal types (String,String) #165

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Is a BidirectionalConverter only meant to be used for conversion between 
different types? I have a case where i need to map a countrycode (String type) 
in my DTO to a countryname in my domain object (DO). This functionality is 
needed for more DTO<->DO mappings.

I have implemented a custom BidirectionalConverter and mapping to the DO works, 
but when mapping from DO to DTO, the convertTo method is called.

Is this possible or should this type of mapping be done in a CustomMapper?

Regards Rob
