Convert a pojo variable to another bean which takes it as list of name and value - spring

Question

I have a bean with set of variables. I want to convert them to another bean say Parameters which has just name and value. I need to make the list of parameters of those all variables in name-value pair.
I am thinking of Dozer or mapstruct but this seems to be not really helpful.
Today, using objectmapper to convert it to maps,iterating over maps and creating the list of parameter.
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

class TestClass{
private String str1;
private String str2;
private String str3;
}
Class Paramters{
private String name;
private String value;
}
**Bean1:**
'[
{
"str1": "string",
"str2": "string",
"str3": "string"
},
{
"str1": "string1",
"str2": "string1",
"str3": "string1"
}
]'
To Convert **Bean2**
'[{
"parameters": [
{
"name": "str1",
"value": "string"
},
{
"name": "str2",
"value": "string"
},
{
"name": "str3",
"value": "string"
}
]
},
{
"parameters": [
{
"name": "str1",
"value": "string"
},
{
"name": "str2",
"value": "string"
},
{
"name": "str3",
"value": "string"
}
]}]'

Answer 2

Mapstruct and the like generally convert from one bean to another, your are essentially trying to convert to a map and wrap that to a bean.
Something like BeanMap would be more appropriate.
Untested sample code:
class Bean2 {
private final Map<String, Object> properties;
public Bean2(Map properties) { this.properties = properties }
public static class Entry { String name, String value /* getters and setters */}
#JsonProperty
public List<Map<String, Object>> getProperties() {
// build a map of maps here, each map would have
}
}
Then just:
new Bean2(new BeanMap(bean2))
