My apologies to all on the IBATIS forum.... :-) My habitual use of "but Hibernate can do this" is not an endorsement of Hibernate, but merely a statement that I use Hibernate at work and am familiar with its feature set. There are some things it can do which I would like IBATIS to do also, but there's also many things IBATIS can do which Hibernate cannot -- such as humility, for one :) Thanks for the mild correction.
