ConfigureAndWatch Performance Issue

[Cynthia Torres]

Hi,   I’m newer to iBatis.  I’m experiencing some performance issues with the ConfigureAndWatch method, it takes about 6 seconds in been executed the first time is called.  The language I’m using is vb.net.  I have translated the code from c# to vb because I didn’t find and example in vb.  Please tell me if I have something wrong in my code or if is a performance issue of iBatis.   I will appreciate any help you guys can give me.   Imports IBatisNet.DataMapper Imports IBatisNet.Common.Utilities Namespace Mapper     Public MustInherit Class BaseServiceConfig         Private Shared mapper As SqlMapper = Nothing           Protected Shared Sub Configure(ByVal obj As Object)             mapper = CType(obj, SqlMapper)         End Sub 'Configure           Protected Shared Sub InitMapper()             Dim handler As New ConfigureHandler(AddressOf Configure)             mapper = SqlMapper.ConfigureAndWatch(handler)         End Sub 'InitMapper           Public Shared Function GetMapper() As SqlMapper             If mapper Is Nothing Then                 SyncLock GetType(SqlMapper)                     If mapper Is Nothing Then ' double-check                         InitMapper()                     End If                 End SyncLock             End If             Return mapper         End Function 'Get     End Class 'Mapper End Namespace
