I am curious as to iBatis batching also. I have a question. From what you stated below, I am inferring that when you start a transaction, all inserts/updates/deletes are batched and then sent on commit? Here is my problem. I need to batch updates and inserts to multiple tables. So I am doing something like this.
daoManager.startTransaction for loop { personDAO.insert } for loop{ fooDAO.insert } daoManager.commit finally daoManager.endTransaction So are all the inserts for personDAO and fooDAO batched at this point automatically?
