I have interfaces for all of my domain objects, thus, I have something like this contrived example:

interface Person {
  Address getAddress/setAddress
  String getName/setName
}

interface Address {
  String getStreetName/setStreetName
}

class ConcretePerson {
  // implement Person interface
}
class ConcreteAddress {
  // implement Address interface
}

Person and Address are in a 1:1 relationship.

Say I want to load the address object in a join with person, how do I do that?

<resultMap id="myResult" class="ConcretePerson">
  <result property="name" column="PERSON_NAME"/>
  <result property="address.streetName" column="ADDR_ST_NAME"/>
</resultMap>
<!-- using the above resultMap results in an InstantiationException because Address is an interface -->

<select ... resultMap="myResult">
  select p.name as person_name, a.name as addr_st_name
  from person p, address a
  where p.addr_id = a.id
</select>

Alternatively, I tried
<resultMap id="myResult" class="ConcretePerson">
  <result property="name" column="PERSON_NAME"/>
  <result property="address" resultMap="myAddrResult"/>
</resultMap>
<resultMap id="myAddrResult" class="ConcreteAddress">
  <result property="streetName" column="ADDR_ST_NAME"/>
</resultMap>

This results in an instantiation exception as well, except the exception occurs while attempting to populate a List for the address property.

Are there any solutions for this? IBATIS-225 looks promising, but that is so far down in the list and this problem is blocking me currently...
