Ibatis - The SQL Map Configuration File


Once we’re comfortable with the classes and tables we’re working with, the best place to start is the SQL Map configuration file. This file will act as the root configuration for our SQL Map implementation.

The configuration file is an XML file. Within it we will configure properties, JDBC DataSources and SQL Maps. It gives you a nice convenient location to centrally configure your DataSource which can be any number of different implementations. The framework can handle a number of DataSource implementations including iBATIS SimpleDataSource, Jakarta DBCP (Commons), and any DataSource that can be looked up via a JNDI context (e.g. from within an app server). These are described in more detail in the Developer’s Guide. The structure is simple and for the example above, might look like this:

SqlMapConfigExample.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE sqlMapConfig
PUBLIC "-//ibatis.apache.org//DTD SQL Map Config 2.0//EN"
"http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/sql-map-config-2.dtd">
<!-- Always ensure to use the correct XML header as above! -->
<sqlMapConfig>

<!-- The properties (name=value) in the file specified here can be used placeholders in this config
file (e.g. “${driver}”. The file is usually relative to the classpath and is optional. -->
<properties resource="examples/sqlmap/maps/SqlMapConfigExample.properties" />
<!-- These settings control SqlMap configuration details, primarily to do with transaction
management. They are all optional (see the Developer Guide for more). -->

<settings
cacheModelsEnabled="true"
enhancementEnabled="true"
lazyLoadingEnabled="true"
maxRequests="32"
maxSessions="10"
maxTransactions="5"
useStatementNamespaces="false"
/>

<!-- Type aliases allow you to use a shorter name for long fully qualified class names. -->

<typeAlias alias="order" type="testdomain.Order"/>

<!-- Configure a datasource to use with this SQL Map using Simp
Notice the use of the properties from the above resource -->

<transactionManager type="JDBC" >
<dataSource type="SIMPLE">
<property name="JDBC.Driver" value="${driver}"/>
<property name="JDBC.ConnectionURL" value="${url}"/>
<property name="JDBC.Username" value="${username}"/>
<property name="JDBC.Password" value="${password}"/>
</dataSource>
</transactionManager>

<!-- Identify all SQL Map XML files to be loaded by this SQL map. Notice the paths
are relative to the classpath. For now, we only have one… -->

<sqlMap resource="examples/sqlmap/maps/Person.xml" />
</sqlMapConfig>

SqlMapConfigExample.properties

# This is just a simple properties file that simplifies automated configuration
# of the SQL Maps configuration file (e.g. by Ant builds or continuous
# integration tools for different environments… etc.)
# These values can be used in any property value in the file above (e.g. “${driver}”)
# Using a properties file such as this is completely optional.
