Hi Larry,
If I understand correctly what your suggesting, I'm thinking we could do something like this:
1. Put a Map in ThreadLocal in the SqlMapClient
2. Add SqlMapCient methods like:
- clearThreadLocalMap()
- putThreadLocalData(String key, Object value)
3. Add some syntax to access these values in an SqlMap like this:
<insert id=InsertCustomer" class="customer">
insert into customer (id, desc, audit_id)
values (#id#, #desc#, #TL:audit_id#)
</insert>
Is that right? That would certainly address my issue - and I think it would be easier to implement that what I proposed. I think I like it.

There are as many solutions to this as there are projects, and making
a simple solution to this problem is not terribly likely.
I tend to put as much of that in the DAO (via threadlocal storage) or
in the database itself (via triggers, etc) as I can. That keeps it out
of the application pretty well. It might be cool to be able to get to
static data from a mapped statement - so like if i create a static
method on a ThreadLocal to get the user name, etc...
Just my $0.02 on it. :-)
