MyBatis: Boolean Parameter: MyBatis is using Getter

Subject: MyBatis: Boolean Paraeter: MyBatis is using Getter

Hello everyone,

I have been searching for a while for a solution to my nearly-simple MyBatis problem:

---

Given code (only the necessary parts):

mybatis-config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE configuration PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Config 3.0//EN" "http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-config.dtd">
<configuration>
    <typeAliases>
        <!-- Model types. -->
        <typeAlias type="com.blockhaus2000.bh2k.portal.data.model.Navigation" alias="Navigation" />
        <!-- ... more types ... --->
    </typeAliases>
    <mappers>
        <mapper resource="mapper/NavigationDAO.xml" />
        <!-- ... more mappers ... -->
    </mappers>
</configuration>

NavigationDAO.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN" "http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-mapper.dtd">
<mapper namespace="com.blockhaus2000.bh2k.portal.data.dao.NavigationDAO">

NavigationDAO.java:

package com.blockhaus2000.bh2k.portal.data.dao;

import java.util.SortedSet;

import com.blockhaus2000.bh2k.portal.data.model.Navigation;

public interface NavigationDAO extends BaseDAO<Navigation>, UpdateableDAO<Navigation> {
    SortedSet<Navigation> findVisibleNavigations(final boolean resolve);

    SortedSet<Navigation> findHiddenNavigations(final boolean resolve);

    Navigation findNavigation(final int id, final boolean resolve);
}

BaseDAO.java:

package com.blockhaus2000.bh2k.portal.data.dao;

import com.blockhaus2000.bh2k.portal.data.model.BaseModel;

public interface BaseDAO<T extends BaseModel<T>> {
    int insert(final T obj);

    int save(final T obj);

    int delete(final T obj);

    boolean exists(final T obj);
}

UpdateableDAO.java:

package com.blockhaus2000.bh2k.portal.data.dao;

import com.blockhaus2000.bh2k.portal.data.model.BaseModel;

public interface UpdateableDAO<T extends BaseModel<T>> extends BaseDAO<T> {
    int update(final T obj);
}

Everything is starting correctly, but on an invocation of

NavigationDAO.findVisibleNavigations(true) // Or false.

the following Exception is thrown:

org.mybatis.spring.MyBatisSystemException: nested exception is org.apache.ibatis.reflection.ReflectionException: There is no getter for property named 'resolve' in 'class java.lang.Boolean'
    at org.mybatis.(...)
    at org.apache.ibatis.(...)
    at com.blockhaus2000.bh2k.portal.data.test.NavigationDAOSpec.test findVisibleNavigations(NavigationDAOSpec.groovy:224)
Caused by: org.apache.ibatis.reflection.ReflectionException: There is no getter for property named 'resolve' in 'class java.lang.Boolean'

    ... 5 more

That said, the solution may be to change the "parameterType" to "Map" and replacing "resolve" with "param1". But that does not work either. Also, if I remove the

<if test="..."> ... </if>

it does execute correctly (except for the functionaility, of course).

I am happy about every single answer.

Thanks for your help Fabian
