[Configuration] Configuration Issues with Third-Party Library

[maxinglo]

Describe your question

During the development process, I utilized the MyBatis library. However, I couldn't figure out how to retrieve the database URL and account credentials from the application.yml file. As a result, I created a separate configuration file named mybatis-config.xml and stored the relevant information there. Would this pose any issues?

actually there's a spring-starter for mybatis that can read jdbc config from application.yml, however, as mentioned below, you are NOT allowed to use mybatis since it's generally considered as an orm.

@hezean What would be the consequences if I use MyBatis? Would it result in penalties or a deduction of points? I need to assess whether I should rewrite my entire code.

May I first ask if you were in CS307 or CS213? I'll consult with the corresponding tutor for you.

@hezean Professor Cheng Ran's CS307.

@maxinglo After consulting TA, our decision is that if you insist using ORM, you will get 50% of your original benchmark score.
