I just wanted to inform the list regarding two new JIRA improvement requests that I've added for Abator to initiate discussion.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATIS-492 Allow Abator configuration to extend model objects from existing classes: Provides a means of attaching non-table-specific meta-data to models. and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATIS-493 Add Abator config to utilize resultMap "select" attribute: Extends the existing iBATIS "select" attribute of the resultMap element into Abator to enable the dynamic construction of complex Result Maps. Thanks! -Ryan
