Your Article class does not respect java beans specification.
public void setPerson(Person person) {
this.person = person;
}
// required for ibatis object construction
public void setPerson(PersonImpl person) {
this.person = person;
}
Having to setters with different argument produces an invalid bean and
java cannot find the setter.
In your case, you should have a second setter like this (only if the
first one doesn't work).
// required for ibatis object construction
public void setPersonImpl(PersonImpl person) {
this.person = person;
}
Then, update your sqlmap files.

Why does iBATIS need to know anything about the interface?
