Not really a preferred way - it's going to be up to you to decide if you want code or configuration.
I think a row handler might be the best option in this case. So you would have ibatis mapping all of your results to a Map, then in your RowHandler, you'd take that row, and create the entity object, pluck out the fixed values, then copy the rest to your entity's attributes map. You could probably create a RowHandler<Entity> sort of solution to do that in a more general manner which would eliminate some redundant code. Sounds like it'd be a fun project. :) Larry On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 5:20 AM, Kristian Rink <li...@zimmer428.net> wrote: > Larry Meadors schrieb: >> >> Interesting idea - so you end up with something like this? >> >> myEntity.id >> myEntity.name >> myEntity.attributes.someField >> myEntity.attributes.someOtherField > > Yes, that's basically what it is supposed to be.
