Sorry, I confused use-place with mappedStatement. Actually, the use-place in
Iawo's proposal was a nested resultMap. There is no "global" prefix in the
sense I understood it. The previous analysis needs to be corrected.

Just to be sure I'm being clear, a couple of examples of what I understand by
use-place and definition-place follows:

use-place (Iawo's):
  <association property="prop" resultMap="map" prefix="p_"/>

definition-place (mine):
  <resultMap id="map" extends="map2" prefix="p_"/>


Let's assume a field DefaultResultSetHandler.currentPrefix that is
initialized to "".

For the definition-place variant we need a property resultMap.prefix also.
resultMap.prefix (if not null) will be concatenated to currentPrefix at the
beginning of loadResultObject execution and removed upon exit. This recursively
extends the prefix as needed.

For the use-place variant we need a property resultMapping.prefix instead
(which only makes sense for nested non-inlined associations and collections).
In this case, the concatenation/removal must occur before/after calling
loadResultObject from processNestedJoinResults. Notice that the outer resultMap
can't be prefixed this way (except that prefix is also allowed as
a property of mappedStatement), but that doesn't seem like a big loss.

In both cases currentPrefix will be prefixed to resultMapping.getColumn()
in the course of getPrimitiveResultMappingValue execution as suggested before.

Still pretty simple.

Sorry again for the confusion, I'm both overexerted and overexcited, I need
some rest.

Best regards
