ResultMap Method Mapping ------------------------ Key: IBATIS-133 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATIS-133 Project: iBatis for Java Type: New Feature Components: SQL Maps Versions: 2.1.1 Reporter: Brandon Goodin Fix For: 2.1.1
Method mapping should be supported in ibatis to map to non-javaBean methods. Following are some whiteboard ideas for this: A standard verbose mapping - <resultMap> <method name="methodName" signature="propertyA,propertyB" javaTypes="integer,string" jdbcTypes="INTEGER,VARCHAR" columns="PROPERTY_A,PROPERTY_B" /> </resultMap> If types map cleanly between columns and java types some configuration can be avoided - <resultMap> <method name="methodName" signature="propertyA,propertyB" columns="PROPERTY_A,PROPERTY_B" /> </resultMap> column Indexes should also be supported - <resultMap> <method name="methodName" signature="propertyA,propertyB" columnIndexes="3,8" /> </resultMap> we could also use the method mapping for constructors as well. Only one constructor method type can exist per resultMap. type="method" would be the default unspecified method type. <resultMap> <method type="constructor" name="methodName" signature="propertyA,propertyB" columnIndexes="3,8" /> </resultMap> Something else to consider is how a method signature can be mapped to both complex objects and simple objects. Perhaps we need to go with a more verbose mapping. <resultMap> <method type="standard" name="methodName"> <parameter propertyA" column="PROPERTY_A" /> <parameter propertyB" column="PROPERTY_B" /> <parameter propertyC" column="PROPERTY_C" select="anotherResultMap" /> </method> </resultMap> Not sure if we would want to support both or just one type. But, those are the ideas. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
