I have a util class that has the following methods:

public static java.util.Date toUtilDate(String strDate);
public static java.sql.TimeStamp toTimeStamp(String strDate);
public static java.sql.TimeStamp toTimeStamp2(String strDate);
public static java.sql.Date toSqlDate(String strDate);

I want to map from String to java.util.Date. I am getting an Ambiguous mapping error. I think that if an explicit mapping between String to java.util.Date exists then we should select that method. If the toUtilDate method didn't exists then we should throw the error.

WDYT?

               @Mapping(source = "headLine", target = "headLine"),
               @Mapping(source = "summary", target = "summary"),
               @Mapping(source = "location", target = "location")
    })
   public CurriculumViewModel toCurriculumViewModel(Curriculum domain);

   As discussed in the gitter chat. We need some more information for the error in order to help you out. You might need to specify on which method exactly does the error occur and in which mapper.
