All:
I have a question about file placement in DdlUtils. I am, as I said, working on a more-or-less drop-in replacement (there will certainly be some changes, but I'm trying to minimize them) for the present hard-coded platform configurations (particularly type-mappings, but also other things, like drivers/subprotocols and default type sizes). I plan on making the XML configuration files for each database type available as Classloader resources (so you can substitute for the default configuration for any database by simply placing another appropriately named configuration file earlier in the classpath). The next question is where to store the default platform configuration files. I'm thinking src/xml (mostly because it's there), but if someone has a better idea, please do speak up. I've managed to get most of the infrastructure in place for reading the configuration files (an interesting day working with Betwixt, which is new to me, though Digester is not) and am now proceeding to extract all the default XML files and make what changes must be made to get it all to work smoothly together.
