Annotation Type CsvDataSource

@Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface CsvDataSource

This annotation can be used in conjunction with Immutable. For every immutable class which is additionally annotated by CsvDataSource a AbstractCsvDataSource is generated and registered. The mapping from the csv line to the immutable object is generated completely.

As csv files are plain text files type conversions (e.g. to Integer or BigDecimal) are performed by Spring's ConversionService.

The csv files have to declare a header column which is used to map the columns to the immutable's attributes. The column header has to correspond to the attribute name, but you can override this behavious by annotating the field with CsvColumn.
