Dozer exclude nested field

Is it possible to exclude a child of a field? e.g. A field "item" contains another "subItem". How can I exlude the "subItem" being mapped? 

<mapping> 
    <class-a>test.ClassA</class-a>
    <class-b>test.ClassB</class-b>    
    <field-exclude>
        <a>item.subItem</a>
        <b>item.subItem</b>
    </field-exclude>                
</mapping>

Thanks for any sugestions.

Unfortunately no, but there is a trick. You can define contextual mapping for your Item class:

<mapping> 
    <class-a>test.ClassA</class-a>
    <class-b>test.ClassB</class-b>    
    <field map-id="itemExcludeSubitem">
        <a>item</a>
        <b>item</b>
    </field>                
</mapping>
<mapping map-id="itemExcludeSubitem">
    <class-a>test.ItemA</class-a>
    <class-b>test.ItemB</class-b>    
    <field-exclude>
        <a>subItem</a>
        <b>subItem</b>
    </field-exclude>                
</mapping>
