Yeah, something like that..I hadn't thought at all about the syntax. :-)

Hi Larry, If I understand correctly what your suggesting, I'm thinking we could do something like this: 1. Put a Map in ThreadLocal in the SqlMapClient 2. Add SqlMapCient methods like: - clearThreadLocalMap() - putThreadLocalData(String key, Object value) 3. Add some syntax to access these values in an SqlMap like this: <insert id=InsertCustomer" class="customer"> insert into customer (id, desc, audit_id) values (#id#, #desc#, #TL:audit_id#) </insert> Is that right? That would certainly address my issue - and I think it would be easier to implement that what I proposed. I think I like it.
