1.queryForObject

  /**

   * Executes a mapped SQL SELECT statement that returns data to populate

   * the supplied result object.

   * <p/>

   * The parameter object is generally used to supply the input

   * data for the WHERE clause parameter(s) of the SELECT statement.

   *

   * @param id              The name of the statement to execute.

   * @param parameterObject The parameter object (e.g. JavaBean, Map, XML etc.).

   * @param resultObject    The result object instance that should be populated with result data.

   * @return The single result object as supplied by the resultObject parameter, populated with the result set data,

   *         or null if no result was found

   * @throws java.sql.SQLException If more than one result was found, or if any other error occurs.

   */

  Object queryForObject(String id, Object parameterObject, Object resultObject) throws SQLException;

当查询对象是一个重量级对象、创建过程比較复杂时或者查询对象没有默认的构造方法时。通过该方法。能够在外部先构建好查询对象。然后传给Ibatis。Ibatis此时不会创建新对象，而是调用传入对象的set方法进行赋值。

2.queryForList

  /**

   * Executes a mapped SQL SELECT statement that returns data to populate

   * a number of result objects within a certain range.

   * <p/>

   * This overload assumes no parameter is needed.

   *

   * @param id              The name of the statement to execute.

   * @param skip            The number of results to ignore.

   * @param max             The maximum number of results to return.

   * @return A List of result objects.

   * @throws java.sql.SQLException If an error occurs.

   */

  List queryForList(String id, int skip, int max) throws SQLException;

利用这种方法能够实现分页功能，如（skip=0,max=10）返回前10条数据。(skip=10,max=10)返回第10-20条数据，但这种方法的分页效率很低，由于Ibatis是把全部的查询结果查询出来之后才进行筛选操作。数据量小的时候用用还能够，所以这种方法比較鸡肋。

3.queryForMap

/**

   * Executes a mapped SQL SELECT statement that returns data to populate

   * a number of result objects that will be keyed into a Map.

   * <p/>

   * The parameter object is generally used to supply the input

   * data for the WHERE clause parameter(s) of the SELECT statement.

   *

   * @param id              The name of the statement to execute.

   * @param parameterObject The parameter object (e.g. JavaBean, Map, XML etc.).

   * @param keyProp         The property to be used as the key in the Map.

   * @return A Map keyed by keyProp with values being the result object instance.

   * @throws java.sql.SQLException If an error occurs.

   */

  Map queryForMap(String id, Object parameterObject, String keyProp) throws SQLException;

网上有不少帖子说这种方法仅仅能返回一条记录是不正确的，还有说是把resultClass的全部属性放到一个map中返回来也是不正确的。这种方法是对queryForList的一个补充，大部分情况下我们用的都是queryForList返回对象的列表，但有时候放到Map里用起来可能更方便，假设没有这种方法还得自己进行转换，相同的一个<select ...>配置，不用做不论什么更改即能够用queryForList訪问也能够用queryForMap訪问。
