How to match a query for iBATIS with a parameterized column in a select clause?

I want to have a method that finds a specific value from a column of a specific table in a database, where the column name is passed as a parameter. Thus, the Java method will have the following signature:

public Integer getFoo(String column) throws DataAccessException;

My match attempt for this query is as follows:

<select id="getFoo" parameterClass="java.lang.String" resultClass="java.lang.Integer">
    select min($column$) from daily_statistics where $column$ &gt; 0
</select>

This is not so interesting. If I call this method once, it will work. But if I name it twice with different column names, the second call will fail with the following stack trace:

Caused by: com.ibatis.common.jdbc.exception.NestedSQLException:   
--- The error occurred in com/company/project/dao/ibatis/maps/FooBar.xml.  
--- The error occurred while applying a result map.  
--- Check the getSomething-AutoResultMap.  
--- Check the result mapping for the 'MIN(FIRST_COLUMN)' property.  
--- Cause: java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column name
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column name

Note that 'FIRST_COLUMN' represents the name of the first column, even if an error occurs in the second call, never on the first call.

I found that the following comparison will not give errors even when called several times:

<select id="getFoo" parameterClass="java.lang.String" resultClass="java.lang.Integer">
    select min(ANY_COLUMN) from daily_statistics where $column$ &gt; 0
</select>

, , select.
