Why no support for ARRAY type?

[daver]

Can anyone offer some information about why MyBatis doesn't support
the ARRAY type for JDBC?

Thanks,

The only reason is that in 8 years there wasn't enough demand, and/or
an implementation was never submitted for review and addition to the
framework.

Cheers,

Fair enough. It looks like there's an existing custom type handler
example on StackOverflow about how to do this if you're so inclined...

Not a deal-breaker, just a curiosity. Thanks Clinton.

Except that this example is for ibatis 2 and to me it does not look
usable in mybatis.
Because there is no way to map jdbcType ARRAY since it's not existing?


<typeHandler javaType="java.util.ArrayList" jdbcType="ARRAY"

causes:

org.apache.ibatis.builder.BuilderException: Error resolving JdbcType.
Cause: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum const class
org.apache.ibatis.type.JdbcType.ARRAY
