You could also create one SQL statement like this: select customer.first_name, customer.last_name, address1.address_line1 as address_line1_1, address1.address_line2 as address_line2_1, address1.city as city_1, address2.address_line1 as address_line1_2, address2.address_line2 as address_line2_2, address2.city as city_2, address3.address_line1 as address_line1_3, address3.address_line2 as address_line2_3, address3.city as city_3, from customer, address address1, address address2, address address3, where customer.id <http://customer.id/> = address1.id_customer and customer.id <http://customer.id/> = address2.id_customer and customer.id <http://customer.id/> = address3.id_customer and address1.address_flag='Address1' and address2.address_flag='Address2' and address3.address_flag='Address3'
You would probably need to define three different reslutMaps for the address so that your address column names do not conflict. <resultMap id="CustomerResult" class="Customer"> <result column="first_name" property="firstName"/> <result column="last_name" property="lastName"/> <result property="address1" resultMap="AddressResult1"/> <result property="address2" resultMap="AddressResult2"/> <result property="address3" resultMap="AddressResult3"/> </resultMap> <resultMap id="AddressResult1" class="Address"> <result column="address_line1_1" property="addressLine1"/> <result column="address_line1_1" property="addressLine2"/> <result column="city_1" property="city"/> </resultMap> <resultMap id="AddressResult2" class="Address"> <result column="address_line1_2" property="addressLine1"/> <result column="address_line1_2" property="addressLine2"/> <result column="city_2" property="city"/> </resultMap> <resultMap id="AddressResult3" class="Address"> <result column="address_line1_3" property="addressLine1"/> <result column="address_line1_3" property="addressLine2"/> <result column="city_3" property="city"/> </resultMap> Good luck, Milo- ________________________________ From: Brandon Goodin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 9:35 AM To: user-java@ibatis.apache.org Subject: Re: howto : Degenerated case of heterogenous lists. It could be solved if you combined address1,2,3 into a list and used the groupby functionality. Customer { firstName : string lastName : string addresses : List } If you want to return the address through address1, 2, 3 getters you could always add the getters and have them draw from the list indexes. getAddress1() { if (addresses.getSize() > 0) return addresses.get(0) : return null; } getAddress2() { if (addresses.getSize() > 1) return addresses.get(1) : return null; } getAddress3() { if (addresses.getSize() > 2) return addresses.get(2) : return null; } Brandon On 2/14/07, Thibaut Fagart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, I'm currently evaluating IBatis for the corporation I work with, and trying to use it to solve a case we have. We have a model like this Customer { firstName : string lastName : string address1 : Address address2 : Address address3 : Address } where Address is a simple class. All the addresses happen to be stored in the same table, with a join to the customer table, and a flag indicating which address this is (address1, address2 or address3). The request that used to be used to solve this case is something like that select [customer columns], [address columns], address_flag from customer, address where customer.id = address.id_customer This would return 3 rows, with the curstomer information duplicated, and the resultSet consuming code would sort out which address attributes (address1, address2 or address3) has to be set with the current row depending on address_flag value. I've seen support for returning heterogenous lists using the discriminator tag, but this doesn't solve my problem, does it ? Would there be a way to solve this case with only 1 request to the database ? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/howto-%3A-Degenerated-case-of-heterogenous-lists.- tf3227674.html#a8966314 Sent from the iBATIS - User - Java mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
