Maven and iBatis 3.0 - Excuse me for the stupid question
I'm probably being silly here as I don't seem to be able to figure out where
to put my sqlMap XML files in my Maven project.
Everything works fine when I just use iBatis in the main code but when I try
to ise iBatis in the unit test code iBatis cannot find the xml files for the
modules under test.
My current directory structure looks like this
src-main------
| config
| |
| java......
| | core
| | |
| | data
| | sqlmaps
| resources
site
|
test
java......
| core
| |
| data
| sqlmaps
resources
The sqlmap files go in the obvious directories. These files are located
using the <mappers> section in the config file.
<mapper resource="sqlmaps/someMapper.xml"/>
The problem is, when under test how do I distinguish between the Mappers
under test and those being used to do the testing? At the moment I only seem
to be able to get things to work if I put all the Mapper.xml files in the
test sqlmaps directory. Clearly this isn't good.
Can someone offer advice to a maven/iBatis novice?

Right, I keep mine in 'src/resources/mapper-files/'

Just to clarify, the xml files don't have to be at the top-level of the
resources folder. You can impose a directory structure inside the resources
folder too and so have "the xml files in a directory on their own".
Admittedly this can be a pain (replicating the package tree to be able to
have hierarchies of package.properties files in struts 2 applications is one
that springs to mind) but it can be done and it works well.
Later,
Andy

It turns out that this is the approach I needed to use. Putting the files in
the resources directory works but to my mind it's untidy. Having the xml
files in a directory on their own is better to my mind, albeit adding a
slight non-standard aspect to my maven build

True. Brandon is right, you should put them there, otherwise you need to
adjust your pom to include:
<resource>
<directory>src/main/java</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<includes>
<include>**/*.xml</include>
</includes>
</resource>
I should probably be more standard and move them to resources. I'll do it
now:)

I did start putting the .xml files in the resources directory but I don't
like clutter so I grouped them into a separate directory ant that is
probably part of the issue. I'll have a think about what I'm doing

non .java files that belong on the classpath are supposed to go under the
resources directory in Maven.

I put them directly in the same package where I have my XYZMapper classes,
so in your diagram I'd put them in java/data/sqlmaps right along side the
java Mappers. I name my classes like: EmloyeeMapper.java, and then have
EmployeeMapper.xml along side it.

Thanks for your reply rickr. I'll have another look at my setup to see if I
can figure out what is going wrong. I have probably made a mistake. Just the
fact that you can do what I want tells me I have something wrong. I'll get
back to you if I get stuck

Can you paste your pom.xml? I only have my mapper.xm files in
src/main/resources/ and they are read fine by main src daos during tests.
I'm no maven expert so I 'think' (and someone correct me if I'm wrong), your
src/main/resources always get compiled into your main classes directory
(even during tests.) The test/resources are available on the classpath
during testing but are obviously not compiled into your final build.
Are you absolutely certain that it's the xml file it's not finding and not
something else? To prove it's the xml it's not finding, take one of your xml
queries and make it as annotation on the Mapper class select itself. The run
your test that calls a dao that uses that mapper.
I think it'll help if you paste a screen shot of your exploded directory
structure and your pom.

I just create some Test classes that call my service classes or daos that
are part of the src/main tree and they work. If you need more help let me
know.

I'm not running separate sql during test and real. My problem comes from the
fact that I'm trying to use iBatis to set my test data up proior to running
the real code. (i.e. in the @BeforeClass part of my unit test). The issue I
have is that during testing the resources seem to get loaded from
src/test/resources and when running normally from src/main/resources. This
means that the .xml files for the "real" code do not seem to be seen when I
run my tests
It's quite possible that I have something wrong here in my configuration.
Maybe a better question would have been "How do you unit test your iBatis
code if you use Maven?"

I'm a bit confused. It sounds like you want to run different SQL statements
in test vs your real code? The actual SQL itself is going to change? That
seems a bit odd at first glance to me, since I'd think the idea of the tests
is to make sure that the production Mappers you wrote actually work, so not
sure I'd see a case to have different ones used in test? Maybe you could
elaborate more on it. (Actually you won't even be able to build a Mapper
class of the same name in a test package that has the same structure. You
could have it use a different mapper.xml file, but not the class name.)
Can you explain why you want to use different Mappers in Test from your real
code?
