Problem w/enum and TypeHandlerCallback

[Tom Duffey <td...@utilivisor.com>]

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with Java 5 Enums and iBATIS  
TypeHandlerCallbacks.  I've read the wiki article and it doesn't help  
with my particular issue.  Retrieving objects is working fine but  
inserting/updating them is throwing this NPE:

java.lang.NullPointerException
     at com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.type.UnknownTypeHandler.setParameter

(SqlMapClientTemplate.java:188)
     at org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientTemplate.insert 
(SqlMapClientTemplate.java:356)
     ...

Here's my basic setup:

public interface Tenant {
	public enum Type { FOO, BAR }
	public Type getType();
	public void setType(Type type);
	...
}
public class TenantImpl implements Tenant {
	private Type type;
	public Type getType() { return type; }
	public void setType(Type type) { this.type = type; }
	...
}

My type handler for Tenant$Type looks a lot like the examples in the  
wiki article.  The types are mapped in my SqlMapConfig:

<typeHandler javaType="foo.bar.Tenant$Type"  
callback="com.utilivisor.dao.ibatis.TenantTypeEnumTypeHandler"/>

I'm messing around with UnknownTypeHandler.setParameter() and am very  
confused.  I checked the incoming value of parameter.getClass() and  
it is correct, i.e., foo.bar.Tenant$Type.  usingJavaPre5 is set  
(Which is confusing by itself because I am using Java5) so  
getBaseClass() is  called and the new searchClass is foo.bar.Tenant.   
I do not have or want a type handler for foo.bar.Tenant.  Can anyone  
help?
