Having worked on a variety of projects over the years, I can certainly
understand that there are applications out there where embedded
resources are more attractive for a number of reasons, but I am somewhat
surprised at the apparent proportion of ibatis (and spring) users that
seem enamored with embedded resources.
Since the build->deployment processes here aren't exactly abnormally
formal, I expect that the interest in embedded resources comments more
on the current users of ibatis than on this environment and thought I
might take a few minutes to chime in from the flipside. :)
I think the +1 for resources and embedded was taken out of context. The proposal was for the syntax used in the string for SqlMapper configuration. It was not a vote for (or against) the use of embedded SqlMaps, which just happens to be one option for packaging them with your application or library. Plus, I actually haven't read any feedback from folks using embedded SqlMaps with iBATIS.NET yet, so who knows... :-)
That said, on Java apps, it's pretty normal to place SqlMaps into a JAR for deployment.
