I stumbled across a project: www.csvBeans.org . It generates beans from a
CSV file. The mappings are defined using XML.
Worth a look -saved me loads of time.

My company has several vendors who send us invoices in the form of comma

Ibatis to pul in the data from the text file and insert it into a table.
I
can get the data in manually and use Ibatis to insert into the table,
but it
would sure be nice if I could use Ibatis and map the fields in the flat
file
to my objects the same way they are maped from tables or say do a query
like:
INSERT INTO table SELECT field1, field2 ... FROM flat_file
These vendors have no other way to get us our invoices except paper.
Thanks,
