Suppose you have the current dto class
public class AbcDto {
private Long id;
private String description;
private Timestamp creationDate;
[.......]
}
and the model/bean to send as response via REST service that returns the pagination instance of Abc instances....
public class AbcView {
private Long id;
private String descriptionInUpperCase;
private String creationDateTruncated;
[.......]
}
That you use the repository to asking for data within "Pageable" form...
So you could have something like this...
Page<AbcDto> tmp = abcDtoRepository.findAll(new PageRequest(page, size));
So you can quickly convert the content, preserving the Page instance details in this way:
Page<AbcView > returnList = tmp.map(new Converter<AbcDto, AbcView> () {
@Override
public AbcView convert(AbcDto v) {
return new AbcView(v.getId(), v.getDesciption().toUpperCase(),
sdf.format(v.getCreationDate()));
}
});
Simply and quick...
I hope this help you....
Bye..
