Basically, it works like a package in java, or namespaces in C#.
If you have a mapped statement named "insert" with a namespace of "department", you call it using the name "department.insert". So, why do that instead of insertDepartment? Well, it makes things lots easier if you want to make smarter dao classes that know that you always use "insert" to insert an object, and if you pass a Department object, it can figure that part out, too. It's also real nice organizationally, if you name the xml file to match the namespace - then you know exactly where to find "department.insert", too.

To all, In IBATIS documentation I cannot see any usage of namespace (global setting in sql-map-config,xml and references in <sqlMap namespace="xxxxxx"> portion of xml files included in sql-map-config,xml ). Please send me example of code.
