 					In this example, the <literal>number</literal>, <literal>name</literal>, and <literal>address</literal> properties are automatically mapped since they are present on both the source and target objects.
 					The AccountDto's <literal>address</literal> property is a JavaBean, so its nested properties are also recursively mapped.
