Custom property editor?

[Aliaksandr Radzivanovich <al...@gmail.com>]

SQL Maps is great framework!

In my current project java.util.Calendar is used to store dates in
bean properties. Does SQLMaps work with this type?

Is this possible to add custom property editor to a bean which would
preprocess/convert property's value somehow before storing or after
reading it from database?

Not out of the box.

Yes indeed.  Take a look at the javadocs for 
com/ibatis/sqlmap/client/extensions/TypeHandlerCallback.  It includes an 
example of how to write a true/false<->YES/NO mapper which should get 
you started.

HTH,

PS - Where are the javadocs?  Okay, for now take a look at the source 
file - that's in the distribution under debug/ibatis-debug.jar.
