[IBATIS-589] Allow SqlMapConfigParser to be overridden

• Type: New Feature

Description

In order to modify the behaviour of the SqlMapConfigParser, it is currently necessary to copy the SqlMapConfigParser class entirely, leaving the new implementation open to bugs when iBatis is upgraded. In order to derive a useful class from SqlMapConfigParser, the XML parser state and other members need to be made available to protected, overridable methods.

1. Please review which methods are usefully overridable. We would only have needed to modify addSqlMapNodelets, but others may benefit from having all the methods declared protected.
2. Please make the object's state available to derived classes.

Thank you.
