Updating from ibatis 1.3.1 to 2.1.7 .. should I? Does it worth the effort?

[David Gagnon]

Hi all,

 I've been working with ibatis for several years but because version 
1.3+ wasn't supporting multiple datasource in the sqlmap I didn't update 
since this time:-(  I don't have this limitation anymore and  I wonder 
if the upgrade worth the effort.

I probably have arroud 60 sql maps.  I patched 1.3 to support some 
custom type too!  Is 2.1.7 is faster ?

Too for the migration path what is that gone be hard?  I remembered I 
need to use some ant task to convert my map to the new format.

Since the gap is growing between the releases it getting more and more 
difficult  to have a clear view...

Thanks for any help.. it`s really appreciated! 
Best Regards
