Re: Does iBatis have a direct competitor?

[Eric Blue]

Troy,

I've been using iBatis for well over a year now and have had nothing short of success on about a half dozen projects.  So, I really haven't had any great desire to look elsewhere at this point.  On a few of these projects, the object model was (in my view) somewhat complicated and iBatis worked out just fine. 

When I was researching ORM and mapping solutions I did come across some good links.  You may want to check these out.  Please bear in mind that I've only had direct experience with iBatis, and some of these projects may fall more on the side of full ORM instead of mapping.
