Hmm, my suggestion wasn't very good.
Perhaps groupBy needs to be applied to one of the lower level resultMaps?
Never tried to tackle this usecase myself and would like to know how you
solve it.

Perhaps something like this (wild guess work :) ) :
<resultMap class="Container" id="root" groupBy="id">
<result property="id" column="id_container"/>
<result property="arrayListOfSuper" resultMap="polyMap"/>
</resultMap>
<resultMap id="polyMap" extends="superMap">
<discriminator javaType="String" column="entity_type">
<subMap value="foo" resultMap="fooMap"/>
<subMap value="bar" resultMap="barMap"/>
</discriminator>

<resultMap id="superMap" class="Super">
