Jeff Butler commented on IBATIS-586:
------------------------------------

Couple of questions....

1. For the use case you describe, why can't you just use a column override and 
rename the property whatever you want?

2. I understand that there could be times when you might want to send a column 
based property to a plugin.  I've got a simpler suggestion....how about adding 
something like a userProperty or userString attribute to column override.  You 
could attach whatever String you wanted to a column and a plugin could retrieve 
it.


> Allow custom properties for columns

> Ibator allows you to create nest custom property tags at the table level 
> which are quite useful in configuring plugins.
> However there's no way to provide the same capabilities on a column by column 
> basis.
> The use case that drove me to add this feature is the need to capitalize 
> certain columns (first name and last name, etc) but not all the columns in 
> the table.
> The attached patch adds an optional <column> tag underneath each <table>.  
> The column tag supports the nesting of property tags underneath it for custom 
> properties.  It's possible that the ignoreColumn and columnOverride tags 
> could be subsumed by the column tag but it's not necessary.
> An alternate approach would be to create <columnProperty> tags that have the 
> column and the property name and value defined as a single tag.
