Re: ibatis to return xml instead of arraylist (of hashmap).

Vic,

I'm assuming you've already tried <resultMap ... type="xml"> to get a list
of XML documents back?

Vic,

You could write a row handler to take the returned maps and a string
builder to create xml.

One class would handle all of your requirements.

Something like this is close - testing is an exercise left to the reader.

public class MapToXmlRowHandler
        implements RowHandler
{
    private String wrapper;
    private String item;
    private StringBuilder builder;


    public MapToXmlRowHandler(String wrapper, String item) {
        this.wrapper = wrapper;
        this.item = item;
        builder = new StringBuilder();
    }

    public void handleRow(Object object) {
        Map<String, Object> m = (Map<String, Object>) object;

        builder.append("<").append(item).append(">");

        for(String key : m.keySet()){
            // todo: make sure these values are xml friendly
            builder.append("<").append(key).append(">")
                   .append(m.get(key))
                   .append("</").append(key).append(">");
        }

        builder.append("</").append(item).append(">");
    }

    public String getResultsAsXml(){
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder("<" + wrapper + ">")
                .append(builder)
                .append("</").append(wrapper).append(">");
        return result.toString();
    }

}
