RE: Storing the Dao or the DaoManager in the application context

Brandon,
So basically you are saying that the DaoManager should be stored and the
DAOs should be obtained as they are needed, right? Also, shouldn't the
Reader be closed in a finally statement?

Thanks,

Richard

Do something like the following. Then you simply call the static
getDaoManager() method.

package com.foo.myapp.dao.sqlmap;

import com.ibatis.common.resources.Resources;
import com.ibatis.dao.client.DaoManager;
import com.ibatis.dao.client.DaoManagerBuilder;

import java.io.Reader;

public class DaoConfig {

  private static final DaoManager daoManager;

  static {

    try {
      String resource = "com/foo/myapp/config/dao.xml";
      Reader reader = Resources.getResourceAsReader(resource);
      daoManager = DaoManagerBuilder.buildDaoManager(reader);
    } catch (Exception e) {
      throw new RuntimeException("Could not initialize DaoConfig. 
Cause: " + e);
    }
  }

  public static DaoManager getDaomanager() {
    return daoManager;
  }

}
