While that may not seem like a big difference, it is. ORM tools write your SQL for you. iBATIS uses your SQL and maps input and output to POJOs. That means that you can use the full power of your database (or at least 99% of it), not just what your ORM understands. As far as clustering goes, it should be OK, but you may need to look into using OSCache for caching... > -What caching strategies does it use It has a fairly simple caching mechanism, with plug-ins for external caching, and an API to roll your own if they don't fit your needs. > -Does it work with aforementioned Oracle App Server. If it's Java-based (heck, or even .net), iBATIS will work. :-) > Thanks for your help... You are welcome. :) Larry
