reusing resultMaps without extending them.

[Christopher . Mathrusse]

I can't seem to find any documentation on this so that is why I am asking the question. I have a ResultMap and I am try to avoid the select to load the associated object. So my SQL joins the two tables and all works well. My problem is that I would like to use the ResultMap already defined in another SqlMap rather than redefining it once again. It appears that a result element has the attribute resultMap. I tried to configure my Sql Map as shown below, but I receive an error when I attempt to do this.

<resultMap id="billToResultMap" class="BillTo" >
        ...
            <result property="paymentTerms" resultMap="PaymentTerms.PaymentTermsResult" "/>
</resultMap>


Produces the following exception:
com.ibatis.sqlmap.client.SqlMapException: Error instantiating collection property for mapping 'paymentTerms'.  Cause: java.lang.ClassCastException



Is there a way to reuse result maps without extending them?

Thanks...
