Provide auto-configuration for MyBatis

[wilkinsona]

That's very unlikely, at least without some more information. What project would it be a starter for?

Hi, wilkinsona. Thanks for your reply. I want starter for project use spring-boot and reuse data access module that implement by mybatis. But I can't found spring-boot-starter for mybatis, can you tell me why it's very unlikely, because mybatis is too niche or any other consider?

[wilkinsona]

It was very unlikely as you didn't provide a description for your request. You've provided a little information now, although more would still help.

A Spring Boot starter is just a group of dependencies pulled together into a single easy-to-use dependency. The interesting piece is really in the auto-configuration. I know very little about MyBatis. Perhaps you can describe how you typically configure MyBatis in your Spring applications, and help us to identify pieces that Spring Boot could configure for you automatically.

Good title, thanks. Typically configure Mybatis for spring project please see doc at http://mybatis.github.io/spring/getting-started.html. After auto-configuration, just write mapper XML file and mapper interface，then autoscan mappers. Mapper interface method can have @Transactional annotation enabled just like spring-data-jpa's repository interface.

Mybatis's spring adapter is currently supporting version 3.2.13.RELEASE and there are no releases since Jan 18, 2014.

June 15 was launched a new released of mybatis-spring. I would like to see supported by spring-boot also. +1

Thanks @philwebb @joshlong

Mybatis team have created mybatis-spring-boot repository. I will take a look in order to add some improvements. PRs are welcome in that projects :)

Closing in favour of the Spring Boot support that's part of the MyBatis project
