Hi everyone.

The following mostly affects users of the Java version of iBATIS, but it's=
=20
always nice to keep our C# friends in the loop.

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that iBATIS is very popular=
=20
and in August we served up over 1,000,000 of the sql-map-2.dtd. Most=20
versions of iBATIS actually resolve the DTD from the JAR file, so most of=
=20
these hits are likely from IDEs and other tools/parsers that are making use=
=20
of the DTD.=20

The bad news is that this is unfortunately starting to cost me money in=20
bandwith overcharges. :-)

Therefore this is a perfect opportunity to change. This will be a three ste=
p=20
process:

1) If you haven't done so already, you should switch to use the DTD URLs=20
found here http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/ (i.e. NOT the ones at
ibatis.com<http://ibatis.com>
).

2) If you haven't done so already, you should upgrade your iBATIS version t=
o=20
the latest, to ensure that your DTDs resolve from the JAR files.

3) The by November 30, 2005, the DTDs will cease to be available at=20
ibatis.com <http://ibatis.com>, and will only be available from=20
http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/

So let's celebrate our success by making the switch to using the DTDs hoste=
d=20
by Apache.

Of course if you see serious issue with this, please let me know.

Best regards,

Clinton Begin
