mybatis進行解析配置配置檔案時，在org.apache.ibatis.builder.xml.XMLConfigBuilder.java類中的方法parseConfiguration()中，

private void parseConfiguration(XNode root) {
    try {
      Properties settings = settingsAsPropertiess(root.evalNode("settings"));
      //issue #117 read properties first
      propertiesElement(root.evalNode
 
("properties"));
      loadCustomVfs(settings);
      typeAliasesElement(root.evalNode("typeAliases"));
      pluginElement(root.evalNode("plugins"));
      objectFactoryElement(root.evalNode("objectFactory"));
      objectWrapperFactoryElement(root.evalNode("objectWrapperFactory"));
      reflectionFactoryElement(root.evalNode
 
("reflectionFactory"));
      settingsElement(settings);
      // read it after objectFactory and objectWrapperFactory issue #631
      environmentsElement(root.evalNode("environments"));
      databaseIdProviderElement(root.evalNode("databaseIdProvider"));
      typeHandlerElement(root.evalNode("typeHandlers"
 
));
      mapperElement(root.evalNode("mappers"));
    } catch (Exception e) {
      throw new BuilderException("Error parsing SQL Mapper Configuration. Cause: " + e, e);
    }
  }

其中對settings節點進行解析，

Properties settings = settingsAsPropertiess(root.evalNode("settings"));

loadCustomVfs(settings);

 settingsElement(settings);

其中Properties settings = settingsAsPropertiess(root.evalNode(“settings”));
是對節點下的配置進行解析和驗證，是否是mybatis已經定義的屬性。

 private Properties settingsAsPropertiess(XNode context) {
    if (context == null) {
      return new Properties();
    }
    Properties props = context.getChildrenAsProperties();
    // Check that all settings are known to the configuration class
    MetaClass metaConfig = MetaClass.forClass(Configuration.class, localReflectorFactory);
    for (Object key : props.keySet()) {
      if (!metaConfig.hasSetter(String.valueOf(key))) {
        throw new BuilderException("The setting " + key + " is not known.  Make sure you spelled it correctly (case sensitive).");
      }
    }
    return props;
  }

loadCustomVfs(settings);是載入虛擬檔案系統配置，讀取伺服器資源。
settingsElement(settings);設定配置。

private void settingsElement(Properties props) throws Exception {
    configuration.setAutoMappingBehavior(AutoMappingBehavior.valueOf(props.getProperty("autoMappingBehavior", "PARTIAL")));
    configuration.setCacheEnabled(booleanValueOf(props.getProperty("cacheEnabled"), true));
    configuration.setProxyFactory((ProxyFactory) createInstance(props.getProperty("proxyFactory")));
    configuration.setLazyLoadingEnabled(booleanValueOf(props.getProperty("lazyLoadingEnabled"), false));
    configuration.setAggressiveLazyLoading(booleanValueOf(props.getProperty("aggressiveLazyLoading"), true));
    configuration.setMultipleResultSetsEnabled(booleanValueOf(props.getProperty("multipleResultSetsEnabled"), true));
    configuration.setUseColumnLabel(booleanValueOf(props.getProperty("useColumnLabel"), true));
    configuration.setUseGeneratedKeys(booleanValueOf(props.getProperty("useGeneratedKeys"), false));
    configuration.setDefaultExecutorType(ExecutorType.valueOf(props.getProperty("defaultExecutorType", "SIMPLE")));
    configuration.setDefaultStatementTimeout(integerValueOf(props.getProperty("defaultStatementTimeout"), null));
    configuration.setDefaultFetchSize(integerValueOf(props.getProperty("defaultFetchSize"), null));
    configuration.setMapUnderscoreToCamelCase(booleanValueOf(props.getProperty("mapUnderscoreToCamelCase"), false));
    configuration.setSafeRowBoundsEnabled(booleanValueOf(props.getProperty("safeRowBoundsEnabled"), false));
    configuration.setLocalCacheScope(LocalCacheScope.valueOf(props.getProperty("localCacheScope", "SESSION")));
    configuration.setJdbcTypeForNull(JdbcType.valueOf(props.getProperty("jdbcTypeForNull", "OTHER")));
    configuration.setLazyLoadTriggerMethods(stringSetValueOf(props.getProperty("lazyLoadTriggerMethods"), "equals,clone,hashCode,toString"));
    configuration.setSafeResultHandlerEnabled(booleanValueOf(props.getProperty("safeResultHandlerEnabled"), true));
    configuration.setDefaultScriptingLanguage(resolveClass(props.getProperty("defaultScriptingLanguage")));
    configuration.setCallSettersOnNulls(booleanValueOf(props.getProperty("callSettersOnNulls"), false));
    configuration.setLogPrefix(props.getProperty("logPrefix"));
    configuration.setLogImpl(resolveClass(props.getProperty("logImpl")));
    configuration.setConfigurationFactory(resolveClass(props.getProperty("configurationFactory")));
  }

其中方法Properties.getProperty()是判斷是否有值，如果沒有值就用預設值。booleanValueOf()中的第二個引數就是各個配置的預設值。
其中比較常用的配置是jdbcTypeForNull，logImpl，mapUnderscoreToCamelCase，defaultExecutorType，lazyLoadingEnabled
具體表示意思可參考：mybatis的setting配置含義
