Not bad after all

Been using Ibatis for quite while. I must say its simplycity contribute a lot to speed up my development. The only things that bugging me is that we need to test the dao layer. Yes most of the time I stumbled upon some silly sql error, the syntax part.

Somehow I’m a bit curious on deciding between hibernate and Ibatis. If given a chance on deciding the architecture, at which point should we opt between these two?

I am a strong believer of ‘THERE ARE NO SUCH THING AS SILVER BULLET’. After some time working with Ibatis, I can see several sweet spot using this tool.

  • total power of SQL in ur hands ( this got nothing to do with celcom mind u )
  • simplicity on abstraction of persistance layer

On the bad site;

  • CRUD will become a tedious job

  2. I don’t know, but I’d stay as far as I can from writing my own SQL. I’d even stay way from writing HQL.

    (unless the tool can check my syntax and provide compile-time type safety)
