What I do is that I have a base class (BaseDAOSqlMap) which encapsulates all
my data access. In it are methods like getList(String,Object) which calls
queryForList which allows me to define custom behavior of what getList()
returns. That way if the implementation for queryForList() changes (I know
its unlikely), I have to change my code in one place. Just a thought.

Subject: queryForList not returning null
Dear All,
Today while using queryForList method, I realised that if there are no
records in the resultset, it returns an empty list unlike
queryForObject (which returns null). Is it an undocumented feature or
that's how it should have been?
After each call, I have to manually check for the size of the list.
Are there any known workarounds? Could not find much information over
the internet or ibatis website/lists.
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Kinjal
