dozer custom convertors for primitive types

the below url has an example on dozer custom convertors..

Map collection size in Dozer

but when i tried that example its giving the exception like this..

Type: null Source parent class: dozerPackage.Source Source field name: images Source field type: class java.util.ArrayList Source field value: [www, eee] Dest parent class: dozerPackage.Destination Dest field name: numOfImages Dest field type: int

org.dozer.MappingException: Destination Type (int) is not accepted by this Custom Converter (dozerPackage.TestCustomFieldConverter)!

is there any way that i can return the primitive types from dozer custom convertors..

The short answer is no. This feature is not yet implemented. Please use old CustomConverter interface instead of DozerConverter to achieve the desired behavior.
