Hi Everyone,

I'm not sure if this is useful for you or not.  But, I created an XSL file to 
transform iBatis configurations into beans and SQL fragments into full SQL 
output.

I have attached an example.


It is helpful to open the xml file in your browser, as the XSL file will automatically create a 
"full" SQL output for you.  For example, the fragment below, uses a fragment called 
"ledgerTypeSelect"...

  <select id="getLedger" resultMap="LedgerTypes"
          parameterClass="java.util.Map">
    <include refid="ledgerTypeSelect"/>

     WHERE ledger_id = #ledgerID#;
  </select>

  <sql id="ledgerTypeSelect">
    SELECT ledger_id,
           ledger_name,
           ledger_description,
           ledger_number
      FROM ledger_types
  </sql>

If opening the ledger.xml in the browser, it will translate the "getLedger" 
select statement into a complete select statement for you, by automatically including the 
refid element into the output.  And, it even includes one line comments to let you know 
which fragment was included.  Pretty cool.  That way it is easy to copy and paste SQL 
into tora, toad, or some other SQL tool, etc, for testing.

So, the output is like so.  As you can see, it tells you the beginning of the 
included fragment.
    -- BEGIN getLedger
-- BEGIN ledgerTypeSelect
    SELECT ledger_id,
           ledger_name,
           ledger_description,
           ledger_number
      FROM ledger_types
-- END ledgerTypeSelect
     WHERE ledger_id = #ledgerID#;
-- END getLedger
