Question

I am trying to test out Mybatis’s user manual with the result map section.
Mybatis version : mybatis-3.1.0

<setting name="lazyLoadingEnabled" value="false" />


<resultMap id="blogMap" type="blog">
<constructor>
    <idArg column="id" javaType="_long" />
    <arg column="title" javaType="String" />
</constructor>
<association property="author" javaType="author" column = "author_id"           select = "getAuthor"/>
</resultMap>

<select id="getBlog" parameterType="Long" resultMap="blogMap">
    select
    b.id,
    b.title
    from
    blog b
    where b.id = #{id} 
</select>

<select id="getAuthor" parameterType="Long" resultType="author">
    select
    a.id ,
    a.username,
    a.password
    from author a
where a.id = #{id} 
</select>

My Java classes :

public class Blog {
private long id;
private String title;

private Author author;
private List<Post> posts;
      //getter, setters and the constructor

public class Author {
private long id;
private String username;
private String password;
private String email;
private String bio;
private String favouriteSection;

Finally, my test Module

   BlogMapperInterface bm = context.getBean("blogMapper",BlogMapperInterface.class);
   Blog b = bm.getBlog(1);

Why the getAuthor is not invoked? Shouldn’t it be invoked whenever I call getBlog()?

Answer 1

Because there is not an author_id column in the result got from getBlog.

Try:

 select
    b.id,
    b.title,
    b.author_id
    from
    blog b
    where b.id = #{id}
