Generics should work fine. I haven't read this whole thread about the
inheritance yet, but generics such as this should work without problems, as
long as PK is a simple type, *OR*, you create a custom type handler for
whatever you're using for the PK.
public interface BaseDomain<PK extends Serializable>
{
public PK getCodigo();
}
To Java, in this case, PK will basically always be a Serializable as far as
the reflection API is concerned. So all you need to do is be explicit when
defining your map to this property.
<parameter property="codigo" javaType="string" .../>
....
<result property="codigo" javaType="string" .../>
Etc.
As for the problem this thread describes, I suggest writing that unit test
you were talking about so that we can better understand the problem and
debug it if necessary.
Cheers,
Clinton
