Invoking setters to populate POJO

[gitkeerthi]

Is there a way to force the mapper to use setters to populate a POJO? When my POJO has overloaded constructors the mappers expects an exact constructor matching the arguments with the columns in the SELECT clause. For instance,

class MyPojo {
    private Long id;
    private String name;

    // No constructor
}

Note that MyPojo has default (no-arg) constructor only.

DynamicJdbcMapper<MyPojo> mapper = JdbcMapperFactory.newInstance().addKeys("id").newMapper(MyPojo.class);
ResultQuery<?> query = dsl
        .select(
                MY_TABLE.ID.as("id"),
                MY_TABLE.NAME.as("name"))
        .from(MY_TABLE).where(MY_TABLE.ID.eq(1));

MyPojo pojo = mapper.stream(query.fetchResultSet()).findFirst().orElse(null);

The above works fine.

But in my case MyPojo is a legacy class and comes with a whole bunch of constructors:

class MyPojo {
    private Long id;
    private String name;

    public MyPojo(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
}

Note the Pojo now has an overloaded constructor. This causes the mapper to not work with the same query. I get the following error:

Could not find eligible property for 'name' on  class com.bla.bla.MyPojo

It is apparent that the mapper is trying to look for a constructor with arguments matching the columns in the SELECT clause. I don't want to add overloaded constructors (the SELECT column list is huge). It'd be nice to force the mapper to call the setters regardless.

there is some heuristics to find an injection point. If there is a setter it should be able to use it. I would need a reproducer to see where the problem is.
