------------------------------------

camel-dozer has been improved recently. Take a new look with latest code

> DozerTypeConverter utilizes DozerBeanMappper's method map(Object source, Class<T> destinationClass) to convert objects. Unfortunately, this does not work for Dozer's context based mapping with map-id because it requires call to DozerBeanMappper.map(Object source, Class<T> destinationClass, String mapId).
> Example below does not work without map-id, which is actually required for this type of mapping (see http://dozer.sourceforge.net/documentation/faq.html#complex-to-map)
> <mapping  map-id="myMapping">
>    <class-a>x.y.z.ComplexType</class-a>
>    <class-b>java.util.Map</class-b>
>    <field copy-by-reference="true">
>       <a>complexTypeField</a>
>       <b key="complexTypeFieldKeyName">this</b>
>   </field>
>   ...
> </mapping>
> DozerTypeConverterLoader has access to ClassMap and its map-id, if any, in order to construct a lookup for map-id for a given conversion pair. This is tricky, however, since there can be multiple mappings with different ids for the same conversion pair.
> Interfaces for Dozer and Camel Conversion may not be fully compatible but it would be great if at least limitations can be stated in documentation.
