RE: Using an array instead of a List

>From what I know, arrays can be used with getters, by not setters.
For instance, the <iterate> tag should work with arrays and Lists, but
not resultMap.

Subject: Using an array instead of a List

This is the same question as this post, which never got fully
answered:
http://www.mail-archive.com/user-java@ibatis.apache.org/msg06454.html

I have a POJO which has an array of another POJO in it (N+1 style from
the iBatis guide).  I have gotten this to work with a java.util.List,
but I need it to also work with a straight Java array.  The reason for
doing this is simply because I want to use the same POJO with some web
services.  I am using Axis2 for web services which does not support
(yet) using a List, you must use an old-school array of objects.

So the question is simple.  Can iBatis support an array of POJO objects
instead of using a List of POJO objects?  I know using a List would be
better, and I wish I could, but I cannot at the moment.

Sample POJOs:

public class ProgramVO {

        private Integer programID;
        private ProgramActivityVO[] activities;  //Using an array
instead of a List

        public Integer getProgramID() {
                return programID;
        }
        public void setProgramID(Integer programID) {
                this.programID = programID;
        }

        public ProgramActivityVO[] getActivities() {
                return activities;
        }
        public void setActivities(ProgramActivityVO[] activities) {
                this.activities = activities;
        }

}


public class ProgramActivityVO {

        private Integer programActivityID;
        private Integer activityID;

        public Integer getProgramActivityID() {
                return programActivityID;
        }
        public void setProgramActivityID(Integer programActivityID) {
                this.programActivityID = programActivityID;
        }
        
        public Integer getActivityID() {
                return activityID;
        }
        public void setActivityID(Integer activityID) {
                this.activityID = activityID;
        }
}

SQL Map:

        <resultMap id="programResult" class="Program"
groupBy="programID">
                <result property="programID"/>
                <result property="activities"
resultMap="program.programActivityResult"/>
        </resultMap>

        <resultMap id="programActivityResult" class="ProgramActivity">
                <result property="programActivityID"
column="programActivityID" />
                <result property="activityID" column="activityID" />
        </resultMap>
