iBatis: Support for Array or List Parameter with SQL IN Keyword
By admin on Mar 14, 2008 in Java, Programming
This is a feature available in iBatis but it is not mentioned in the documentation. You can find the example in the iBatis source code under the unit tests.
Let’s said I need to run the following SQL statement
select * from my_table where col_1 in ('1','2','3')
So how do I pass in the values of 1, 2 and 3 ?
In this case you need to pass in a list parameter. The correct iBatis syntax should be
<select id="select-test" resultMap="MyTableResult"
parameterClass="list">
select * from my_table where col_1 in
<iterate open="(" close=")" conjunction=",">
#[]#
</iterate>
</select>
And in Java you should pass in a java.util.List. E.g.
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(3);
list.add("1");
list.add("2");
list.add("3");
List objs = sqlMapClient.queryForList("select-test",list);
This is another example
<select id="getProducts" parameterClass="Product"
resultClass="Product">
SELECT * FROM Products
<dynamic prepend="WHERE productType IN ">
<iterate property="productTypes"
open="(" close=")"
conjunction=",">
productType=#productType#
</iterate>
</dynamic>
</select>

how about like this
select * from my_table where col_1 in (’1′,’2′,’3′) and col_2 = ‘4′

Hi is there any way I send a generic class as sql parameter and iBatis? Something like Parameters.
I want to access the properties of iBatis in runtime as the parameters of the query

Using ibatis 2.3.2.715 I couldn’t have those exemple to work.
Debugging the code, I managed to have it working.
Becarefull, on this version, you can only iterate on List objects (not on Collection).
Here is the XML portion of the query
and COL in
#VALUES[]:VARCHAR#
