Hi, could you just try converting Curreny to simple class (temporarly) and see what happens. Maybe it's an enum issue? I am using type handlers with classes, didn't try it on enums. Also, make sure the enum full name is correct, dll name is correct and enum is public.
This kind of message usually indicates wrong path or "strange behaviour" ;) Cheers. -----Original Message----- From: DaiMichael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 7:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Enum TypeHandlers issues... Hi, Having a few problems with converting our enums to varchars (it works one way (i.e. getting it back from db if i directly ref it on the resultmap) but not putting into the db), this is a legacy db so can't change the way it works (hence using iBatis). <alias> <typeAlias alias="Currency" type="Research.Indices.Domain.Enums.Currency, Research.Indices"/> <typeAlias alias="CurrencyTypeHandler" type="Research.Indices.DataAccess.TypeHandlers.CurrencyTypeHandler, Research.Indices"/> <typeAlias alias="DecimalTypeHandler" type="Research.Indices.DataAccess.TypeHandlers.DecimalTypeHandler, Research.Indices"/> </alias> <typeHandlers> <typeHandler type="Currency" dbType="varchar" callback="CurrencyTypeHandler"/> <typeHandler type="decimal" callback="DecimalTypeHandler"/> </typeHandlers> It is picking up the DecimalTypeHandler as I have turned logging on (and shows it overrides it) but when i put in my Currency/CurrencyTypeHandler i get errors on xml validation, this makes me feel that the alias hasn't worked as it can't load the type 'Currency' (which is an enum, just to be clear) ...hmmmm... using 1.6.1, connecting to mssql 2000, provider sqlserver2.0 any idea's what is going on ? cheers for any replies ! -------- Error IBatisNet.Common.Exceptions.ConfigurationException: - The error occurred while loading typeHandler. at IBatisNet.DataMapper.Configuration.DomSqlMapBuilder.Build(XmlDocument document, DataSource dataSource, Boolean useConfigFileWatcher, Boolean isCallFromDao) at IBatisNet.DataMapper.Configuration.DomSqlMapBuilder.Configure(XmlDocumen t document) at Research.Indices.DataAccess.DataSource.IbatisIndexDBContext.initMapper() in IbatisIndexDBContext.cs:line 28 at Research.Indices.DataAccess.DataSource.IbatisIndexDBContext.Get() in IbatisIndexDBContext.cs:line 39 at Research.Indices.DataAccess.DataSource.IbatisDataSource.Get[T](ICommand command) in IbatisDataSource.cs:line 11 at Research.Indices.Test.DataAccess.DataSource.IbatisFxRateTests.IBatisData SourceCanLoadFxRateById() in IbatisFxRateTests.cs:line 22 IBatisNet.Common.Exceptions.ConfigurationException: Error registering TypeHandler class "CurrencyTypeHandler" for handling .Net type "Currency" and dbType "varchar".
