The SQL Map configuration file
The
SQL
Map configuration file (
SqlMapConfig.xml
) is the central hub for config-
uring i
BATIS
, as you can see in the conceptual diagram in figure 3.1. Everything
from the database connection to the actual
SqlMap
s to be used is supplied to the
framework by this file.
The main configuration file is commonly named
SqlMapConfig.xml
.
Although it does not have to use that name, we will follow the convention
here.
NOTE
Listing 3.1 shows an example configuration file that we will discuss in the follow-
ing sections.
