Type handler not called when populating a map

[Lance Java]

I have some columns in my db that are char instead of varchar and therefore
need trimming

I have therefore declared a typehandler for string
<typeHandler javaType="java.lang.String"
callback="foo.bar.StringTypeHandler"/>

The type handler works perfectly when populating a bean property but does
not get called when I'm populating a map.

I realise that the type can not be determined for a map but the jdbc type
can be determined from the ResultSetMetaData. I was therefore hoping to do
the following:
<typeHandler jdbcType="CHAR" callback="foo.bar.StringTypeHandler"/>

But the XML parse fails stating that javaType is required.


Any suggestions?


Cheers,
Lance.
