Solutions

1. Align the provider method parameters with the mapper method: either accept no arguments, a single argument matching the mapper parameter type, or parameters annotated with @Param matching the mapper method.
2. Add a ProviderContext parameter if the provider needs database id or mapper method information instead of mismatched arguments.
3. Check that parameter names are compiled with -parameters or use @Param annotations so MyBatis can match arguments.
