Ibatis now stores the connection strings in the sqlmap file, with optional property replacement like so: <database > <provider name="sqlServer20005" /> <dataSource name="TheDB" connectionString="data source=${datasource};database=${database};user id=${username};password=${password};NETWORK=dbmssocn"/> </database> Now since we sometimes have to share a connection string with other code which prefers storing the connectionstring in the <connectionStrings> section of the .config file, we have to maintain a copy of the connectionstring in both places. What would be ideal would be the option on saying something like: <database > <provider name="sqlServer20005" /> <dataSource name="TheDB" connectionStringName="TheDbConnectionString"/> </database> And then in our .config file say <connectionStrings> <add name=" TheDbConnectionString " connectionString="Database=TheDB;Server=TheDBServer;User Id=Spam;Pwd=Eggs;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> This would also allow us to use the configuration encryption features in the .net framework: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998280.aspx Comments, improvments, ideas ? Implementing this seems like something that might be done really quickly. I'll implement it tonight and submit a patch if people would like to see it merged into the SVN release. - Oddur -------------------------------------------------------- Princeton Retirement Group, Inc - Important Terms This E-mail is not intended for distribution to, or use by, any person or entity in any location where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation, or which would subject Princeton Retirement Group, Inc. or any affiliate to any registration requirement within such location.
