> The camel-dozer component does not actually provide a Camel component implementation today.  Rather, it provides a converter loader which can be used in combination with a set of Dozer mapping files to register a global set of converters within a CamelContext.  This issue proposes the addition of a full-blown component implementation within camel-dozer.  Advantages of this approach include:
> * The ability to manage Dozer mapping configuration on a per-endpoint basis vs. global configuration via the converter registry.
> * Dozer handles direct field assignment quite well, but does not provide other common mapping functions OOTB.  Camel can enrich Dozer via standard Dozer extensions, e.g.
> ** Mapping constant values to target fields
> ** Support for lookup tables, using the source value as the key
> ** Convenience transformations for mappings (e.g. trim spaces, convertToLowerCase, regular expression evaluation)
> ** Allow Camel message/exchange headers to be mapped to target fields
> * The ability to surround dozer mappings with data formats to support a single, any-to-any transformation endpoint
> Here's an example of what the endpoint configuration would look like.
> {noformat}
> dozer:mytransform?mappingFile=dozerBeanMapping.xml&marshalId=json&unmarshalId=jaxb&targetModel=example.MyObject
> {noformat}
> An initial implementation of this component is available as a PR against the Camel GitHub repository.  Unit tests in the PR provide examples of various transformation use cases.  Many, but not all, of the features listed above are implemented already.  I can file follow-up JIRAs for additional features I have in mind.  I will also post a link to the PR and the topic branch in the issue comments.
