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.
