SQLMaps can be used to access the database from within a DAO class. The DAO Framework manages your DAO classes regardless of the mechanism used to access the database.
JPetstore does use the DAO Framework. You will notice the BaseSqlMapDao extends SqlMapDaoTemplate and a dao.xml is located in the com.ibatis.jpetstore.persistence package. In short: IBatis DAO Framework simplifies the usage of the DAO pattern. IBatis SqlMaps simplify the use of jdbc. Brandon On Wed, 29 Dec 2004 16:38:26 -0600, Albert L.
