[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-26?page=comments#action_59825 ] Philip Kerrigan commented on IBATISNET-26: ------------------------------------------
According to the DevGuide (p51) and the 1.1 tutorial (p6) the correct syntax is <sqlMap file="filename"/> Instead the program exits with no indication of the problem. As an absolute minimum an error message should be printed giving the config file name and line number where the error occurred (as happens for some other errors). Config file mistakes should be handled as gracefully as possible without requiring the user to waste days trying to guess at the problem, especially when the documentation doesn't give the correct syntax. Using the format <sqlMap url="file:///c:/filename"/> gives an unhandled error System.NotSupportedException in mscorlib.dll, with the additional information "The given path's format is not supported." Since I was able to obtain an eval copy of Visual Studio I can confirm this happens at line 333 of resource.cs. > Unhandled NullReference parsing non-existent properties. > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IBATISNET-26 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-26 > Project: iBatis for .NET > Type: Bug > Versions: DataMaper 1.5 > Environment: Windows XP > Reporter: Philip Kerrigan > > DomSqlMapBuilder.ConfigureSqlMap calls Resources.GetAsXmlDocument at line 456 > even though I have no properties defined.
