a problem with the extend

[Tao Sun]

Dear Sir:

   Nice to meet you!  

   I want to add the mailing list of dev of ibatis.I am a developer of Java using Ibatis for a time.I found somthing needed to be improved of it, so writed this mail to you to report it.The things are:

    a componnet of a site named "user" using a UserSQL.xmlfile( not sql_config.xml file) for example:

       

<sqlMapConfig>
   
 <properties resource="com/sohu/dbresources/sohuDBSource.properties" />

  
  <sqlMap resource="com/sohu/dbresources/sohuSqlMapping/UserSQL.xml" />
  
 
</sqlMapConfig>

but the corresponding component of our back_end managment application also want to reuse the file, so we want to extends the file.But we don't  found the right mechnism to reuse it .So i modified some code of ibatis.

For example:

<sqlMapConfig>
   
 <properties resource="com/sohu/dbresources/sohuDBSource.properties" />

  
  <sqlMap resource="com/sohu/dbresources/sohuSqlMapping/UserCareSQL.xml" extends="com/sohu/dbresources/sohuSqlMapping/UserSQL.xml"/>
  
 
</sqlMapConfig>

      I am not certain that the modification is a contribution to ibatis ,so want to dicuss with you about it.

      Best wishes!
