The <properties> element is used to specify an external properties file
for use in the parsing of the configuration. Any attribute in the
configuration will accept a property in the form ${property}.
The specified properties file will be searched for a matching value and the
matching value will be substituted. The properties file is of the normal
format for a Java properties file.
The <properties> element is a child element of the <ibatorConfiguration> element.
One, and only one, of the following attributes is required.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| resource | The qualified name of the property file. When specifying the resource, the
classpath will be searched for the properties file. So a file specified as
com/myproject/ibatorConfig.properties must exist in the
com.myproject package. |
| url | A URL value to use for the property file. This can be used to specify a property
file in a specific place on the file system when used in a form like
file://C:/myfolder/ibatorConfig.properties. |
