iBATIS Article on ONJava.com

If you've heard of iBATIS, but never had the time to look into it, there's a good intro article on ONJava.com: Object-Relational Mapping with SQLMaps. iBATIS continues to be my persistence framework-of-choice when Hibernate doesn't mesh with the database schema. Now if we could just get someone to write a Middlegen Plugin to generate POJOs and SQL Maps from database schemas. ;-)

So you are using Hibernate as choice #1 ?

Yes, AppFuse uses Hibernate as its default persistence framework. It also allows you to install iBATIS - which can live side-by-side with Hibernate, or you can choose to remove Hibernate all together. I've found that Hibernate works well when I have full-control over the database schema. However, complicated (or heavily-normalized) schemas are easier with iBATIS. Also, migrating from pure JDBC to iBATIS is a lot easier than pure JDBC -> Hibernate.

I do realize Hibernate 3 supports iBATIS-like operations, but I haven't had a chance to play with it.

I suppose that you could just build your own too. I built a simple ORM tool that generates a DAO/VO mapping using the Velocity template engine and some of the common apache libraries. It's pretty easy to extract the schema for the systems tables. The product is a simple, clean JDBC wrapper without layers of abstraction.

As much as time is an issue. If you can send me some sample of what you would want created from Middlegen (as much details as possible) and I will be able to build a plugin for Middlegen no problem.

I've developped a basic Middlegen plugin for iBatis persistence layer that generates - Mapping XML file : SELECT BY PK/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE and ResultMap - Java Bean If you're interested, you can get the source code at the RFE section of middlegen sourceforge project with id 1202421.
