Jeff Butler commented on IBATIS-50:
-----------------------------------

I've committed the changes for this.  I'd appreciate some of the issue watchers 
taking some time to test in addition to the testing I've already completed.  To 
use the new support:

1. Write a class that implements the new interface 
com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.mapping.result.ResultObjectFactory.  Javadocs on that 
interface give a lot of information.  I'll get the information into the user's 
guide too.

2. Declare your factory in SqlMapConfig like this:

<sqlMapConfig>
  ...

  <resultObjectFactory type="test.MyResultObjectFactory">
    <property name="myProperty" value="someValue" />
  </resultObjectFactory>
   ...

</sqlMapConfig>

The new <resultObjectFactory> element is after the <settings> element.

> 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.
