This method returns the total number of objects returned back to pool during the lifetime of the pool. So for example, if we have pool running…… Continue reading ObjectPool getReturnedCount example
Using decorator during mapping
In this post under MapStruct, I will show how to use decorator to implement pre and post mapping operations. For our example, we will use the “Student” and “StudentDTO” pojo classes. The class structure is as shown below Student package package26; public class Student { private int id; private String name; private String className; //Removed…… Continue reading Using decorator during mapping
