I agree that doing some initialization of iBATIS has little to do with Stripes and putting that piece of code in a Servlet* init method works and isn't difficult. Nevertheless, I think it would be nice to have a Stripes component that is discovered by the extension packages mechanism and initialized at startup. If you are already all set up for extension autodiscovery, all you need to do is create one class with the init code inside it and you're done, instead of having to do the ceremony of configuring a servlet* artifact (and perhaps having to dust off the servlet spec to remember exactly what you need to do). Might be something to consider for 1.6. It would be a small but useful addition IMHO. Just my 2 Canadian cents (worth only 1.747 US cents today).
