Oleg Shpak commented on IBATIS-50:
----------------------------------

Because I need factories very much I had a go at hacking iBatis.

If iBatis developers are interested I would be glad to send them the modified 
files/diff. 
Of course, I do not think that what I did is a complete solution and that it is 
implemented in the most correct way.

My idea was very simple (maybe overly simple):
 - I added getFactory/setFactory to ResultMap iface and implemented it in 
BasicResultMap. I added the setter because I didn't want to mess about with the 
configuration code. It's fine by me to set the factory in my DAO initialisation.
- defined this interface
public interface ObjectFactory {
        Object createInstance(Class resultMapClass);
}
- patched 2 classes in com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.exchange 
ComplexDataExchange and JavaBeanDataExchange
replaced line (2 occurencies in every file).
          object = Resources.instantiate(resultMap.getResultClass());
with
          if(resultMap.getFactory()!=null)
                  object = 
resultMap.getFactory().createInstance(resultMap.getResultClass());
          else
                  object = Resources.instantiate(resultMap.getResultClass());

that's all.

>
> Currently, iBatis is responsible for creating instances of classes used in 
> result maps. It relies on the assumption that objects can be obtained using 
> the Class.newInstance() method (or something equivalent).
> The assumption forces users of the framework to create classes with a no-arg 
> default constructor. IMHO, this also has the effect of favoring 
> implementation inheritance (extends) over interface inheritance.
> Although this is not a problem in most cases, the ability to plug in an 
> external instance factory would provide more flexibility and favor good 
> programming practices. Amongst other things, it would provide developers the 
> ability write code in terms of interface.
> A simple solution is to provide an extension point where resultMap class 
> instances are obtained from.
> The simplest form would be:
> public interface InstanceFactory {
>   Object createInstance(Class resultMapClass);
> }
> The default implementation would do something along the lines of:
> [...]
> return resultMapClass.newInstance();
> [...]
> Developers could configure iBatis to either use the default implementation or 
> their own custom implementation. The setting could be part of the 
> sqlMapConfig file or even per resultMap.
