I was also wondering the other day if there was some sort of "wildcard format" for the sqlMap node. All of my maps are in a single resource assembly, but it would still be nice to simply say "here's an assembly/directory, go get every resource/file with a name that matches the pattern *.*.ibatis.map.xml".
*A most excellent product, BTW!* Tony From: Tony Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 6:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Multiple external <sqlmaps> Hi, I'm working on a large enterprise application that has a series of data access assemblies for different functional areas. For example, we might have one assembly that concentrates on customer details etc and another that looks after invoices. In each assembly, there are hundreds of embedded resource sqlmap configurations (generally one for each entity / view). When I come to pull these together into an application, my application's sqlmap.config file then has to list out all of these sqlmap configuration resources individually? Ideally what I'd like to do is have each assembly pull together its own <sqlmaps> section and then include these in my application's <sqlmaps> : eg: In sqlmaps.config as a resource in Project.Domain.Customers.dll: <sqlmaps> <sqlmap embedded="Project.Domain.Customers.Customer.xml"/> <sqlmap embedded="Project.Domain.Customers.Contact.xml"/> <.etc> </sqlmaps> Then in sqlmaps.config as a resource in Project.Domain.Invoices.dll: <sqlmaps> <sqlmap embedded="Project.Domain.Invoices.Invoice.xml"/> <sqlmap embedded="Project.Domain.Invoices.InvoiceLine.xml"/> <.etc> </sqlmaps> And finally to then use these in my application, my application's sqlmaps section just needs to look like this: <sqlmaps> <sqlmap embedded="Project.Domain.Customers.sqlmaps.config, Project.Domain.Customers"/> <sqlmap embedded="Project.Domain.Invoices.sqlmaps.config, Project.Domain.Invoices"/> </sqlmaps> Is this, or anything like it, possible without having to write out the hundreds of sql map config files in my application project ?
