I think the existing signature: ConfigureAndWatch(string, ConfigureHandler)
should continue to work the way it does with regards to the file path being relative to the application's base directory. A new overrload could be added: ConfigureAndWatch(FileInfo, ConfigureHandler) That would allow you pass in a file from wherever you wanted. The Resources class may need the following method added too: GetConfigAsXmlDocument(FileInfo) because: GetConfigAsXmlDocument(string) is relative to the application's base directory. You may want to create a sub-task from this issue becuase the two issues seem to be related: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-31 --- Bob Hanson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was not subscribed to this list.
