I want to use a String parameter for a Select Statement in MyBatis.
My mapper.xml:
<select id="selectAll" parameterType="String" resultMap="fastXMLResultMap">
SELECT CREATIONDATE, DOCUMENTID, TITEL, REGTITEL, INFORCEDATE, DOCTYPE
FROM #{databBaseTable}
</select>
And the calling function:
public List<FastXMLObject> selectAll(String databBaseTable) {
SqlSession session = sqlSessionFactory.openSession();
System.out.println("Table: "+databBaseTable);
try {
List<FastXMLObject> list = session.selectList("FastXMLObject.selectAll",databBaseTable);
return list;
} finally {
session.close();
}
}
The string dataBaseTable is the name of the table of my database (who would have thought that) because I want to get data dynamically from verious tables.
But unfortunatelly this does not work: Error: ORA-00903: Ungültiger Tabellenname (invalid table name) but it isnt. When I print out the value of "databBaseTable" it is the exact name of the table. And when I write the name of the table to my mapper.xml without a variable it works.
What do I do wrong?
Use ${dataBaseTable}
instead of '#'. The difference is that '#' is used for PreparedStatement substitution. '$' is for direct String substitution.
However, if you do this, you can't pass the table name in as a parameter to the selectList()
call. You need to set the table name as a property. Properties can be set by using the <properties>
element in the MyBatis config.xml or directly in code by using Configuration.getVariables()
.
See the 'String Substitution' section in the MyBatis Docs.
Ok I definitely do not know why this works but I just used the following to solve the problem:
<select id="selectAll" parameterType="String" resultMap="fastXMLResultMap">
SELECT CREATIONDATE, DOCUMENTID, TITEL, REGTITEL, INFORCEDATE, DOCTYPE
FROM ${value}
</select>
I did not set any properties or something else, it was just the change from FROM #{databBaseTable}
to FROM ${value}
I someone could answer why this works would be nice. But for now this really helped me.
With the #{..} syntax MyBatis uses a jdbc PreparedStatement object upon which you cannot specify the table name as a parameter. With #{..} you can only parameterize the parameters of the sql statement.
When you use ${..} syntax MyBatis does plain old string substition so your free to parameterize pretty much any part of the sql you desire.
Note: as a by the way: with #{..} you are pretty safe from sql injection, but with ${..} it does open the door to such attacks
