[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-74?page=comments#action_66354 ] Ron Grabowski commented on IBATISNET-74: ----------------------------------------
I like Rick's idea but this doesn't seem very .Net-ish to me: assembly://System.Data, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089/namespace/resourceName On the flip side, it seems like System.Uri would be able to handle that string well. Gilles idea is similiar to what log4net and nlog use when they need to pass in additional information about the string. I think we're giving the user to much freedom when we accept just a string. This is how log4net does it: http://tinyurl.com/8bqlm http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure_overloads.html I propose this: SqlMapper.Configure(string relativePath) SqlMapper.Configure(FileInfo absolutePath) SqlMapper.Configure(Stream embeddedResource) SqlMapper.Configure(Uri externalLocation) SqlMapper.ConfigureAndWatch(string relativePath) SqlMapper.ConfigureAndWatch(FileInfo absolutePath) That would also address IBATISNET-31 and allow the config file to come from http:// > Improvement for configuration > ----------------------------- > > Key: IBATISNET-74 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-74 > Project: iBatis for .NET > Type: Improvement > Environment: .NET > Reporter: Gilles Bayon > Assignee: Gilles Bayon > Priority: Minor > Fix For: DataMapper 1.2 > > To improve loading of sqlMap/dao.config files and make it more clearly, I > propose to use the same syntax as for other tag. > Loading of sqlMap/dao.config files with relative path : > SqlMapper.Configure("resource:sqlMap.Config") or > SqlMapper.Configure("sqlMap.Config") [to keep old syntax][+ idem for > ConfigureAndWatch] > Loading of sqlMap/dao.config files with absolute path : > SqlMapper.Configure("url:c:\MyDirectory\sqlMap.Config") [+ idem for > ConfigureAndWatch] > Loading of sqlMap/dao.config files embedded : > SqlMapper.Configure("embedded:A.B.SqlMap.Config, assembyName") > [ConfigureAndWatch will not be allow] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
