Step 3: The POJO Person class.

1 package com.mycompany.app10;
2
3 public class Person
4 {
5 private String firstName;
6 private String surname;
7 private PersonType type;
8
9 public String getFirstName()
10 {
11 return firstName;
12 }
13
14 public void setFirstName(String firstName)
15 {
16 this.firstName = firstName;
17 }
18
19 public String getSurname()
20 {
21 return surname;
22 }
23
24 public void setSurname(String surname)
25 {
26 this.surname = surname;
27 }
28
29 public PersonType getType()
30 {
31 return type;
32 }
33
34 public void setType(PersonType type)
35 {
36 this.type = type;

39 @Override
40 public String toString()
41 {
42 return "Person [firstName=" + firstName + ", surname=
43 }
44
45 }
46
47

Step 4: The person.xml under src/main/resources where you can

map to your POJO Person.java.

1 <beanio xmlns="http://www.beanio.org/2012/03">
2 <stream name="persons" format="csv">
3 <parser>
4 <property name="delimiter" value="," />
5 <property name="lineSeparator" value="\n" />
6 <property name="whitespaceAllowed" value="true" />

8 <typeHandler name="personTypeHandler" class="com.mycompany
9 <record name="header" class="map" maxOccurs="1">
10 <!-- 'rid' indicates this field is used to identify the re
11 <field name="recordType" rid="true" literal="H" />
12 <!-- 'format' can be used to provide Date and Number forma

18 <field name="surname" />
19 <field name="type" typeHandler="personTypeHandler" type="c
20 </record>
21 </stream>
22 </beanio>
23

Step 5: Next, the handler class that parses Enums to String.

1 package com.mycompany.app10;
2
3 import org.beanio.types.TypeConversionException;
4 import org.beanio.types.TypeHandler;
5
6 public class PersonTypeHandler implements TypeHandler
7 {
8
9 public Object parse(String text) throws TypeConversionExc
10 {
11 PersonType personType = PersonType.valueOf(text.trim(
12 return personType;
13 }
14
15 public String format(Object value)
16 {
17 return value != null ? ((PersonType) value).name() :
18 }
19
20 public Class<?> getType()
21 {
22 return PersonType.class;
23 }
24 }
25

Step 6: “PersonType” enum class.

1 package com.mycompany.app10;
2
3 public enum PersonType {
4 MALE, FEMALE;
5 }
