Hi, If you're experiencing performance problems because of a few Boolean objects being constructed, you've coded the rest of your application very well.
Indeed, iBATIS uses the Boolean constructor, it would be better if it used Boolean.valueOf() which uses the TRUE/FALSE constants. Unless you can prove otherwise, I don't think iBATIS developers will treat this as a high priority issue...

I am a very happy iBATIS user and I am still new to Java. I have this question after reading "Pro Spring" chapter 10, "What is missing?". From my understanding, the book says if I have 1000 rows with a column in boolean that need to be map to Boolean object, SqlMap will create 1000 Boolean objects whereas I will mostly need 2 Boolean objects right? Does the statement still hold for iBATIS 2.3.0.677? Thanks, John
