Hi Debasish,

You make an excellent point that iBATIS does give specific error
information in these situations and, now that I have more experience
with the tool, the examples you provide seem pretty straight-forward
in their resolution.  And, as you mentioned, turning on the logging
can be a life-saver.  At this time, I personally don't think iBATIS
needs to be more verbose in it's error reporting, so I think we agree
on this point, too.

I still think a listing of usual suspects would really help people
that are new to iBATIS, since the error reporting uses iBATIS'
specific vocabulary and it can be challenging at first to suss out
what iBATIS is saying.  I would have appreciated it when I was new.
I'm not proposing an elaborate spoon-feeding exercise (like Windows
troubleshooting, for instance); just a quick listing of things to
check for a particular problem.  The audience I have in mind would be
the folks who have read the manuals and have a decent understanding of
JavaBeans, JDBC, and SQL.  Maybe they've just been staring at code too
long and could use a quick checklist.

Do you think some quick tips on the wiki would be worth the
maintenance effort?  Or am I being too "blue sky" in my thinking?

Cheers!

Ted
