Clinton,
The classpath scanning code is much simpler than I expected - in Spring, it just boils down to:
[classLoader].getResources("folder/filename.xml");
which returns an Enumeration of URLs.
The javadoc notes that there must be a folder for the method call to work reliably when searching inside jar files.
Allowing wildcards in the filename is a bit more complex and involves finding the classpath roots and iterating through the entries in classpath jars or folders to see if they match the pattern.
The code is all in org.springframework.core.io.support.PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver for the interested.
So scanning the classpath for named files is pretty easy to do... shall I expect it in the next release? ;)
What remains is for me to figure out a way to mung the retrieved sql map files into an sql map client.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers,
Gareth.

Cheers for the quick reply..
As for searching the classpath, I'm not sure yet.
I only found out earlier today that Spring allows you to do just that - you can create an ApplicationContext using a string like 'classpath*:context.xml' to find all the context.xml files on the classpath - that's how I was going to sort out the spring side of things.
I'll take a look at the spring source and see how they do it.
Cheers,
Gareth

How are you going to do that? If that were an easy thing to do reliably, we'd probably just do it for you by allowing: <sqlMap resource="/*.xml" />
Any ideas?

Hi,
What I'm trying to achieve is a way to have a set of 'core' sqlmaps, which are always loaded, and a further set of optional sqlmaps, which are only loaded if present.
In particular, I want to search the classpath for sqlmap files at startup and 'inject' them all into a running Spring configured sql map client.
