We are currently gearing up to being developing a .Net application (desktop) that will have nearly 300 maps to load at start up. We are nervous that because iBatis does not allow you to load maps on the fly (or when you need them) and loads them all when the application starts up that this will take nearly 12-15 seconds to load our application. I am wondering if this problem has been seen before, or if there are any references that you could point me to that would help us in our search for an answer?
Thanks, James
