Ibatis is upgraded to an Apache-level project.

Ibatis is upgraded to an Apache level-1 project !!!

You can access it through ibatis.apache.org. As you know, struts was upgraded only last year. Several famous projects under Jakarta have not yet been upgraded: Tomcat and tapestry.

Although it seems that it is not news, I have not found the specific time when ibatis is "upgraded", but some time ago I was working on ibatis for jmatrix, therefore, I have been paying attention to ibatis trends. Probably last year, ibatis said to be added to Apache, and has had a big discussion. Basically, it is supported, and then it begins to enter the Apache incubation stage, that is, it should be considered first, to "hatch ". A few months later, I visited www.ibatis.com and directly redirected to ibatis.apache.org, which surprised me: it seems that ibatis is really a project that Apache attaches great importance.

The ibatis used in the jmatrix to be released will be very good in the use process, especially when combined with spring. It feels great, and it is more "advanced" to directly write JDBC. However, the advantage of using ibatis is that there is no learning curve and it is basically used directly, because it is also a familiar SQL statement.

Of course, in the scheme selection of the persistent layer, there are more popular hibernate, and JDO and ejb3 that may be on fire. I am afraid to comment on large projects. For small and medium-sized projects, it is estimated that there are many options: hiberante/ibatis. Hibernate is also relatively easy to use, but my personal experience, including the experience of others during discussions with friends, requires a relatively high level of OO skills to truly use and use. However, ibatis does not have this problem. It only reduces your workload and does not increase much.

Therefore, I personally recommend ibatis. This is also the choice of Apache !!!
