Need some good tutorials for iBatis

I've searched a bit but can't seem to find a good resource that gives the basics with this framework. What sites would you recommend?

Solution

  • iBatis is very light-weight framework without much frills. But iBatis developers has moved to create more elegant version of iBatis, called myBatis. So, if your organization is not already using iBatis, I would suggest to look into myBatis.

    As far as learning resources are concerned. There are a couple (and you don't need many)

    1. iBatis in Action Book. It's 2007 edition, but it's suffice.
    2. iBatis SQL Maps -- a free resource
    3. MyBatis User Guide -- this is only available reference for myBatis, not complete but sufficient to get started. Almost everything that's true for iBatis is also true for myBatis. There are some new stuffs.

    Join mailing list of myBatis, you may get help on iBatis as well.

    Hope this helps.
