How to map top level collections in Dozer

[ghost]

ArrayList objects = new ArrayList();
...
DozerBeanMapper MAPPER = new DozerBeanMapper();
...
ArrayList newObjects = MAPPER.map(objects, ...);
like this
<S, D> Collection map(Collection srcCollection, Class targetClass);
not iterate over list

Dozer should not do it because it copy bean to bean, so it is not it's task.
But it is quite simple to make a wrap class. I use this one in our project for example:

public class EntityConverter {
    private Mapper mapper;

    @Inject
    public EntityConverter(Mapper mapper) {
        this.mapper = mapper;
    }

    public <F, T> T fill(F source, T destination) {
        if (source == null || destination == null) return null;
        mapper.map(source, destination);
        return destination;
    }

    public <F, T> List<T> convert(List<F> fromList, final Class<T> toClass) {
        return Lists.transform(fromList, new Function<F, T>() {
            @Override
            public T apply(F from) {
                return convert(from, toClass);
            }
        });
    }

    public <F, T> T convert(F from, final Class<T> toClass) {
        if (from == null) return null;
        return mapper.map(from, toClass);
    }
}
