Hi Clinton, can you tell me please where I can start looking for configuration classes? After reading your email I started thinking about realizing a "polyglot" iBatis, extending the existing classes, allowing it reading the configuration files in various formats... Maybe I'm just too much a dreamer, but if Maven3 guys started thinking about the "Polyglot Maven"[1] maybe it could be just nice having different formats of SQL Maps... :P Thanks in advance, Simo
