Maybe a bit of a hack but ... public interface UserMapper { public List<Long> getUserIds(String email); }
Keep the dao method the same... public long getUserId(String email) { but just do a quick check in there on the size of the List returned, and do what you want with it (throw you own exception if over size 1?) and then just always return list.get(0) On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 11:21 AM, Thomas G.
