Dozer not working with spring boot - spring

Question

I'm making a little microservice and I need dozer in my project.
I've downloaded a starter pack from http://start.spring.io/ with the dependencies: Web, actuator and config client.
So, for dozer I've made this changes:
In pom.xml, I've added the dependencies
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.dozer/dozer -->
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.dozer</groupId>
<artifactId>dozer</artifactId>
<version>5.5.1</version>
</dependency>
And created this config class
#Configuration
public class AppConfig {
#Bean
public DozerBeanMapper dozerBean() {
List<String> mappingFiles = Arrays.asList("dozer.xml");
DozerBeanMapper dozerBean = new DozerBeanMapper();
dozerBean.setMappingFiles(mappingFiles);
return dozerBean;
}
}
The dozer.xml it's almost empty
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mappings xmlns="http://dozer.sourceforge.net" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://dozer.sourceforge.net http://dozer.sourceforge.net/schema/beanmapping.xsd">
</mappings>
And this is my service where is failing
#Service("sectionService")
public class SectionServiceImpl implements SectionService{
private RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
#Value("${cms.url.cms}")
private String HOST;
#Value("${url.cms.controller}")
private String PORT;
private static final String FROMCACHE = "section/fromcache/";
#Autowired
private DozerBeanMapper mapper;
#Override
public Section load(Long id) {
if (id == null /*|| !ObjectId.isValid(id)*/) {
throw new RuntimeException("El id no existe o no es válido");
}
final String url = HOST + PORT + FROMCACHE + id;
SectionDTO section = restTemplate.getForObject(url, SectionDTO.class);
return mapper.map(section, Section.class);
}
}
So when a reach the part of
mapper.map(section, Section.class)
I'm getting this error:

I've looked into the pom to see if the missing library, and It's there. Together with the dozer library.
Tried some things with the pom but I'm getting the same error over and over again.
What's the problem with that library?

Answer 1

Finally found out what was wrong.
Seems that maven downloaded a corrupt version of the jar. Simply deleted the jar from my .m2 repository, mvn clean and mvn install solved the issue.

Answer 2

Add this dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-beanutils</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-beanutils</artifactId>
<version>1.9.2</version>
</dependency>
