[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-74?page=comments#action_66396 ] Ron Grabowski commented on IBATISNET-74: ----------------------------------------
I realize that URI schemas(?) aren't limited to just the familiar http://, ftp://, etc. but I don't think we should be so quick to introduce our own naming conventions: resource:// embedded:// I don't know of any .Net project that uses notation like that. I'm not necessary opposed to it, I just don't think it should be the first choice. Configure(string) doesn't need to handle every possible type of file location! My revised suggestion is this: Configure(string); // convience method for relative paths Configure(FileInfo); Configure(Stream); Configure(XmlDocument); // log4net uses XmlElement... Configure(Uri); // ??? ConfigureAndWatch(string); // convience method for relative paths ConfigureAndWatch(FileInfo); There are already helper functions to get an embedded resource. I don't think we need to duplicate this functionality in Configure(string). I think the common case will be for relative paths...even though everyone in this thread is trying to read from a non-relative path :) > Improvement for configuration > ----------------------------- > > Key: IBATISNET-74 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-74 > Project: iBatis for .NET > Type: Improvement > Environment: .NET > Reporter: Gilles Bayon > Assignee: Gilles Bayon > Priority: Minor > Fix For: DataMapper 1.2 > > To improve loading of sqlMap/dao.config files and make it more clearly, I > propose to use the same syntax as for other tag. > Loading of sqlMap/dao.config files with relative path : > SqlMapper.Configure("resource:sqlMap.Config") or > SqlMapper.Configure("sqlMap.Config") [to keep old syntax][+ idem for > ConfigureAndWatch] > Loading of sqlMap/dao.config files with absolute path : > SqlMapper.Configure("url:c:\MyDirectory\sqlMap.Config") [+ idem for > ConfigureAndWatch] > Loading of sqlMap/dao.config files embedded : > SqlMapper.Configure("embedded:A.B.SqlMap.Config, assembyName") > [ConfigureAndWatch will not be allow] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
