The MyBatis SQL mapper framework makes it easier to use a relational database with object-oriented applications. MyBatis couples objects with stored procedures or SQL statements using an XML descriptor or annotations. Simplicity is the biggest advantage of the MyBatis data mapper over object relational mapping tools.
Mybatis-core is now being auto formatted. Given nature of some code logic with mybatis, it is more appropriate to force a formatting structure manually for snippets such as sql statements. To do so, add following blocks around code.
// @formatter:offto start the block of unformatted code// @formatter:onto end the block of unformatted code
If comment sections need same behaviour such as javadocs, note that the entire block must be around entire comment as direct usage does not properly indicate that formatter treats it all as one comment block regardless.
