Note, I haven't looked at any of the code or anything, but perhaps you could manually manage the loading and configuration of iBatis? I haven't looked at the code so I don't know how internal this is or if there are hooks there where you could build up the configuration. It would require some digging into the internals, but you might could just build your own configuration code that initializes iBatis however you like. Maybe iBatis even has a provider type model where you could supply the configuration based on your own method rather than it just parsing an xml file.

Cheers Tony _____ From: Tony Selke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 June 2007 12:29 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Multiple external <sqlmaps> 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 ?
