MyBatis custom queries: why not generate model and mapper methods?

Question

Why does the MyBatis Java generator not create:

1. a Java model for custom result maps; and
2. Java mapper methods for custom queries?

Custom queries and result maps are based on MyBatis SqlMap XML, and thus I would think that it should be possible to create the model class and add the methods to the Mapper class.

Or am I misunderstanding something?

Answer 1

I have never used it, but reading the Introduction to MyBatis Generator , I understand it generates Java POJOs and CRUD SQL statements XML + matching Java Mappers.

No result maps since generated POJOs properties name matches table columns names: no need because this mapping is implicitly handled.

MyBatis Generator generates stuff from DB, not from sqlMap XML.
