Re: Another custom type handler issue

[Ken Katsma]

I would like to see an example of how the list approach might work (when 
using a nested resultset).  In the case of the array, I found the 
solution.  You just have to define the array in the custom type handler 
using the format [Lpackage.ClassName; and it will fire the custom type 
handler.  I then am using the type handler to iterate over the nested 
resultset.

If there is a way to do this using nested resultmaps it would be great, 
but I haven't seen an example.

Thanks,
Ken

Do you have to use arrays? How about lists instead? iBATIS (to my
knowledge) doesn't support returning arrays. My guess is if you were
to have List<Address> addresses and List<Communication> communications
(type specification not necessary, just highlighting what its doing) -
then iBATIS would "do the right thing".

Now that I have the custom type handler executing correctly for the nested
cursor, I have another question :)
I'm trying to use the custom type handler to populate an array of objects
in my class.  For instance, I have a Client, which contains Address[] arrays
and Communication[] arrays.  I'd like to populate it with a custom type
handler.  While I can get the type handler to execute for a single Address
or communication object, I can't seem to find a way to get iBatis to
understand that it needs to fire a type handler for an array of those
objects.
An even better way to handle this would be if there were some way I could
nest the result maps so that I point the nested cursor to a second result
map.
Any ideas?
Either way, I think I feel another hack coming on :(
