Ibatis 101
While preparing for next week's lecture, I happened to come across a few Ibatis-related articles. I have been using Ibatis for both work and spare-time projects for more than two years now, and in appreciation, I thought I would post links here to "put the word on the street".
There are introductory articles at both ONJava.com and developer.com. The developer.com article covers the very basics of SQL maps and their usage. The ONJava.com article goes a bit further and explains the Ibatis approach to transaction management, caching, logging and a few more bits and pieces.
At the Sardegna Java User Group, Fabrizio Gianneschi has presented a real world case study of deploying the Ibatis framework. The case study describes how the entire data access layer of a web application was converted from the original JDBC version to an iBATIS-based solution. The case study therefore contains a comparison of persistence-related LOC before and after deploying Ibatis.
Finally, Carl(?) has posted a brief review of persistence layer mechanisms in his weblog. The review is brief, but does contain a few important observations to which I agree.
