I haven't yet looked at the changes, but my plan is to update this issue, then begin work on the impl. I think I'll just have to squash all the previous changes into one largish commit. My expectation is that is should be relatively easy to make the change from sourceAs(DTO.class) to sourceAsDTO(), but we'll see! > Allow the use of DTO.class to signal that an Object should be treated as a > DTO. > --- > > Key: FELIX-5475 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5475 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Converter >Reporter: David Leangen > > Sometimes it is useful to treat a class as if it were a DTO, i.e. by ignoring > methods, static fields etc. > This can be done using the sourceAs(Class) method with the DTO.class as the > parameter.

BJ immediately replied, saying that this had already been done. Would you kindly make the change to the API? I will work on the impl following that update, and will also consequently update this issue and the PR.

I think if we add a separate method called 'sourceAsDTO()' it might be clearer what's going on... > Allow the use of DTO.class to signal that an Object should be treated as a > DTO. > --- > > Key: FELIX-5475 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5475 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Converter >Reporter: David Leangen > > Sometimes it is useful to treat a class as if it were a DTO, i.e. by ignoring > methods, static fields etc. > This can be done using the sourceAs(Class) method with the DTO.class as the > parameter.
