Why do we not need to write implementation classes in mybatis to get the objects we need

let’s say we need now we need a method
is all the information in the query table
we’ll write

@Override
public List<User> selectAll() {
    SqlSession sqlSession = factory.openSession();
    List<User> userList = sqlSession.selectList("com.tubai.dao.UserDao.selectAll");
    sqlSession.close();
    return userList;
}

is mainly through the sqlSession selectList to achieve the function

so how does Mybatis do this work for us?

pursue source

let’s start
in debug mode and step into

when this sentence is executed

userDao = sqlSession.getMapper(UserDao.class);

to

public <T> T getMapper(Class<T> type) {
    return this.configuration.getMapper(type, this);
}

next->

public <T> T getMapper(Class<T> type, SqlSession sqlSession) {
    return this.mapperRegistry.getMapper(type, sqlSession);
}

->

public <T> T getMapper(Class<T> type, SqlSession sqlSession) {
    MapperProxyFactory<T> mapperProxyFactory = (MapperProxyFactory)this.knownMappers.get(type);
    if (mapperProxyFactory == null) {
        throw new BindingException("Type " + type + " is not known to the MapperRegistry.");
    } else {
        try {
            return mapperProxyFactory.newInstance(sqlSession);
        } catch (Exception var5) {
            throw new BindingException("Error getting mapper instance. Cause: " + var5, var5);
        }
    }
}

we found that

was executed

return mapperProxyFactory.newInstance(sqlSession);

continue into ->

public T newInstance(SqlSession sqlSession) {
    MapperProxy<T> mapperProxy = new MapperProxy(sqlSession, this.mapperInterface, this.methodCache);
    return this.newInstance(mapperProxy);
}

->

protected T newInstance(MapperProxy<T> mapperProxy) {
    return Proxy.newProxyInstance(this.mapperInterface.getClassLoader(), new Class[]{this.mapperInterface}, mapperProxy);
}

here we find that the newProxyInstance method that calls the dynamic proxy
so let’s go straight to the third parameter

open the class MapperProxy

find the invoke method inside

public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args) throws Throwable {
    try {
        if (Object.class.equals(method.getDeclaringClass())) {
            return method.invoke(this, args);
        }

        if (this.isDefaultMethod(method)) {
            return this.invokeDefaultMethod(proxy, method, args);
        }
    } catch (Throwable var5) {
        throw ExceptionUtil.unwrapThrowable(var5);
    }

    MapperMethod mapperMethod = this.cachedMapperMethod(method);
    return mapperMethod.execute(this.sqlSession, args);
}

finds that it finally calls

mapperMethod.execute(this.sqlSession, args);

open the source code for this method and continue

public Object execute(SqlSession sqlSession, Object[] args) {
    Object param;
    Object result;
    switch(this.command.getType()) {
    case INSERT:
        param = this.method.convertArgsToSqlCommandParam(args);
        result = this.rowCountResult(sqlSession.insert(this.command.getName(), param));
        break;
    case UPDATE:
        param = this.method.convertArgsToSqlCommandParam(args);
        result = this.rowCountResult(sqlSession.update(this.command.getName(), param));
        break;
    case DELETE:
        param = this.method.convertArgsToSqlCommandParam(args);
        result = this.rowCountResult(sqlSession.delete(this.command.getName(), param));
        break;
    case SELECT:
        if (this.method.returnsVoid() && this.method.hasResultHandler()) {
            this.executeWithResultHandler(sqlSession, args);
            result = null;
        } else if (this.method.returnsMany()) {
            result = this.executeForMany(sqlSession, args);
        } else if (this.method.returnsMap()) {
            result = this.executeForMap(sqlSession, args);
        } else if (this.method.returnsCursor()) {
            result = this.executeForCursor(sqlSession, args);
        } else {
            param = this.method.convertArgsToSqlCommandParam(args);
            result = sqlSession.selectOne(this.command.getName(), param);
        }
        break;
    case FLUSH:
        result = sqlSession.flushStatements();
        break;
    default:
        throw new BindingException("Unknown execution method for: " + this.command.getName());
    }

    if (result == null && this.method.getReturnType().isPrimitive() && !this.method.returnsVoid()) {
        throw new BindingException("Mapper method '" + this.command.getName() + " attempted to return null from a method with a primitive return type (" + this.method.getReturnType() + ").");
    } else {
        return result;
    }
}

in Case:SELECT we find

result = this.executeForMany(sqlSession, args);

let’s do

private <E> Object executeForMany(SqlSession sqlSession, Object[] args) {
    Object param = this.method.convertArgsToSqlCommandParam(args);
    List result;
    if (this.method.hasRowBounds()) {
        RowBounds rowBounds = this.method.extractRowBounds(args);
        result = sqlSession.selectList(this.command.getName(), param, rowBounds);
    } else {
        result = sqlSession.selectList(this.command.getName(), param);
    }

    if (!this.method.getReturnType().isAssignableFrom(result.getClass())) {
        return this.method.getReturnType().isArray() ? this.convertToArray(result) : this.convertToDeclaredCollection(sqlSession.getConfiguration(), result);
    } else {
        return result;
    }
}~

and finally we found

sqlSession.selectList
