Hello Jeff, thanks for the speedy and informative reply. I am leaning toward Eclipse (if possible). I have Googled and read some IBatis doco but I can't find the reason for the error condition after adding the tag as requested: <classPathEntry>. Please find included below the <jdbcConnection> criteria and the error condition. Thanks and please advise, David.
<jdbcConnection driverClass="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test" userId="user" password="test"> <classPathEntry location="c:/Program Files/DbVisualizer-6.5.4/jdbc/mysql" /> </jdbcConnection> ************************************* The content of element type "jdbcConnection" must match "(property)*" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Butler" <jeffgbut...@gmail.com> To: user-java@ibatis.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, June 9, 2009 12:26:08 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: IBatis noob/hibernate refugee With the eclipse plugin, you should add a <classPathyEntry> element to state where the JDBC driver JAR is. With command line, don't add the *iBATIS* JAR, instead add the *Ibator* JAR.
