Not sure what are you trying to say.

That hibernate has friendly community? Or that they have a better designed library?

Yes, iBATIS has a mechanism that allows you to do what you want to do. It's called Hibernate.

Enjoy.

If intented use for objectwrapper was scala, why didn't you call it scalaobjectwrapper? Obviously you had other potential uses in mind.

BTW, can you point me to some scala examples? Can ibatis map java lists and maps to scala lists and maps?

What you're trying to do with ObjectWrapper is beyond its intended use. It was never a consideration nor an intention for the ObjectWrapper to instantiate objects. ObjectWrapper was originally implemented to support Scala types, and perhaps to support a custom property naming convention or some other type (e.g. XML).

It was not intended to change or intercept the result object lifecycle or override the result object entirely.

You can call it a design problem if you like. But it's kind of like saying Microsoft Word has a design problem because it isn't a very good spreadsheet.

Hello everyone,

I'm new here, but either I don't understand ibatis internals or you have a design problem. First, let me share my understanding of how ibatis handles mapping of result sets to beans:

In *ResultSetHandler.getRowValue() method you create object instance using objectfactory. then you create metaobject for it, which in turn creates objectwrapper for that object instance. Then you use meta object methods to populate property values on that object instance. During this process both metaobject and objectwrapper essentially write values directly to the object instance returned from object factory.

Now, consider this scenario: let's say my object wrapper constructs intermediate object first and populates its values. Than when I'm done processing a row, I want to create actual object instance that will be returned to the client. How do I do this with the current implementation? Ideally, it will be nice if ObjectWrapper had a method, say 'getPopulatedInstance()' and then line 179 in FastResultSetHandler.getRowValue() (and other such places) could be rewritten like

resultObject = foundValues ? metaObject.getObjectWrapper ().getPopulatedInstance() : null;

instead of

resultObject = foundValues ? resultObject : null;

In other words, it would be nice if objectwrapper is able to create new instances in addition to being able to work as decorator.

Does it make sense at all?

Thanks,
Alex
