There are often newbie requests asking how to deal with a database layer from Struts. Since there are so many ways this can be done, 'simple' examples of how this can be done seem hard to come by. Since I currently use iBATIS as my persistence mechanism of choice, I created a simple Struts application demonstrating just one way a developer could use database persistence:
http://www.reumann.net/do/struts/ibatisLesson1 I didn't really have the time to write up a full lesson like the others on the site, but I did provide some comments on a few of the components that deal directly with iBATIS http://www.ibatis.com/.(The iBATIS documentation is excellent and should be read first along side the application). I've looked at the way others have plugged into the database layer and happen to think the approach I demonstrate is simple yet also very flexible. For a more powerful implementation the user should check out the awesome JPetStore application at http://www.ibatis.com/jpetstore/jpetstore.html. Also, Vic has an interesting approach using iBATIS demonstrated in the basicPortal application that you can check out here: http://www.basicportal.com/ -- Rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
