I don't think it does what Bob wants. Here is another post from the thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/ibatis-user-cs%40incubator.apache.org/msg00356.html It sounds like Bob is describing the case where his development environment uses a slightly different set of sqlMaps than his production environment: <!-- production-sqlmaps.config --> </sqlMaps> <sqlMap resource="Foo.xml" /> </sqlMaps> <!-- dev-sqlmaps.config --> <sqlMaps> <sqlMap resource="Foo.xml" /> <sqlMap resource="Bar.xml" /> <sqlMap resource="Baz.xml" /> <sqlMap resource="Boo.xml" /> </sqlMaps> By allowing the sqlMaps element to come from an external location, he doesn't have to constantly update his main sqlMap.config file when he adds or removes something from his test environment: <sqlMaps resource="${DEV_OR_PRODUCTION}-sqlmaps.config" /> The way the code is now, he would need to edit his sqlMap.config file and comment out the three lines when he moves to production. That's how I understand it. Maybe if Bob provided a more concreate example it would make more sense. To answer your question: I think the issue is still open. The code in SVN still does not allow the entire <sqlMaps> node to come from an external location. Is this something that IBatisNet needs to support...I don't know ??? - Ron --- Gilles Bayon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Ron, > So, I can closed the issue. > Cheers, > Gilles > > On 5/22/05, Ron Grabowski (JIRA) <ibatis-dev@incubator.apache.org> > wrote: > > > > [ > > > http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-69?page=comments#action_65984] > > > > Ron Grabowski commented on IBATISNET-69: > > ---------------------------------------- > > > > I agree with you Gilles.
