Thanks very much for your help, Clinton. Your suggestion worked. Do you have any information on what the ramifications of using commitRequired are? Are there any considerations, such as performance? I don't see anything about it in the documentation.
As to the second problem, that was simply a matter of using "insert" instead of "queryForObject". Thanks again for your help!

That's fair. However, iBATIS is "smart" in that it only truly commits when you call insert/update/delete (and is therefore sometimes "dumb"). The solution in your case would be to use 2.0.8 and set commitRequired="true" on the <transactionManager> element. For example: <transactionManager type="JDBC|JTA" commitRequired="true"> Cheers, Clinton On Tue, 7 Dec 2004 16:26:52 -0800, Eric Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > We're in the process of investigating iBATIS for use in our application.
