uuid custom typehandler mybatis

Question

I want to manage a table with a VARCHAR primary key, that in the mapped java object should be a UUID.

i have my sql-map-config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE configuration
   PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Config 3.0//EN"
   "http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-config.dtd">

<configuration>
       <properties resource="database.properties"/>
   <typeHandlers>
       <typeHandler
handler="[...].persistence.typehandlers.UuidTypeHandler"
                    javaType="java.util.UUID"
                    jdbcType="VARCHAR"/>
   </typeHandlers>
       <environments default="development">
               <environment id="development">
                       <transactionManager type="JDBC" />
                       <dataSource type="POOLED">
                               <property name="driver" value="${driver}" />
                               <property name="url" value="${url}" />
                               <property name="username" value="${username}" />
                               <property name="password" value="${password}" />
                       </dataSource>
               </environment>
       </environments>
       <mappers>
               <mapper resource="user.xml" />
   </mappers>
</configuration>

and the user.xml is like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper
       PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN"
       "http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-mapper.dtd">

<mapper namespace="[...].persistence.mappers.UserMapper">

   <select id="selectUserByUUID" parameterType="java.util.UUID"
resultMap="userResultMap">
       SELECT * FROM user WHERE uuid = #{uuid, jdbcType=VARCHAR,
typeHandler=[...].persistence.typehandlers.UuidTypeHandler}
   </select>
   <resultMap id="userResultMap" type="[...].model.User">
       <id property="uuid" column="uuid" jdbcType="OTHER"
typeHandler="[...].persistence.typehandlers.UuidTypeHandler"/>
       ...
   </resultMap>
</mapper>

anyway, i got this exception:

org.apache.ibatis.exceptions.PersistenceException:
### Error querying database.  Cause:
org.apache.ibatis.reflection.ReflectionException: There is no getter
for property named 'uuid' in 'class java.util.UUID'
### The error may involve
[...].persistence.mappers.UserMapper.selectUserByUUID-Inline
### The error occurred while setting parameters
### Cause: org.apache.ibatis.reflection.ReflectionException: There is
no getter for property named 'uuid' in 'class java.util.UUID'

it seems that my typehandler never gets called (i have it logging a bit, but never prints anything). Is there something wrong? Thanks.

Your problem is right there in your exception....

There is no getter for property named 'uuid' in 'class java.util.UUID'

Use a parameter type of String, and pass in unique id as an argument. You don't need a type handler.
