Hey Jonathan. I think you have confused 'JavaBeans' with 'Enterprise
JavaBeans', the latter being considered 'hefty' in todays world.

Hi I have been working a bit with Hibernate and want to get a look at
iBatis. I have read the first 80-90 pages of the "iBatis in action"
book and I am a bit confused.
JavaBeans?! Isn't that that horribly bloaty standard that everyone
tells me to avoid? What's it doing in what I thought was a lightweight
and easy framework?
I read that iBatis doesn't make any demands on the domain model. Then
the book says that I should use JavaBeans and mumbles something about
a 114 pages specification and starts to tell me about the most basic
stuffs about JavaBeans and more or less hints that this will not be
enough. I feel somewhat confused now. Isn't this a demand on the
domain model?
Please explain this because it just doesn't make sence to me...
