I did want to use Spring for its power and nice features, but there is
not enough time.
It's just 6 to 8 iterations of one week... and now we are in our third
iteration.
So it's too much overhead for this 'college' project.
I've planned to start using Spring on my own - altogether with
iBATIS ;-)
Yours faithfully,

I’d have to agree. I’m not sure how using Spring DAO would be any
more overkill than iBATIS itself. It actually isn’t adding that
much over the top. Far as time goes getting your application to use
Spring is minimal. It just isn’t that hard. Maybe you don’t have
a need for any of the other services but if you do then you should
use it. You get a lot of power there.

Subject: Re: iBATIS for swing application
This is outside the scope of the iBATIS discussion, but why wouldn't
you consider using Spring for your application? I've written
several non-web-based apps using Spring and can say it simplified
the development and configuration of the app, plus, it gives you
intrinsic access to a ton of resources, such as iBATIS, out-of-the-
box. Unless you've already started heavy development without
Spring, it wouldn't be a terrible effort to add it.

Hello,
I am a student (college university) working on a part of a fictive
project management software system.
We received a database dll scheme, so Hibernate was not really an
option. It's also a very short project (8 weeks) so iBATIS is
definitely a better solution.
(shorter learning curve)
I've bought iBATIS in action and generated Java Beans and sqlmaps
with abator.
But now I am stuck. I need some sort of Factory/Facade/Controller
for the sqlMaps, but how to code these?
It's a desktop app, so isn't the (Spring) DAO overkill??? (I also
don't have enough time...)
Is it necessary to use a DAO? Is the iBATIS DAO out-of-date because
it isn't under development anymore?
I don't like the MVC solution we've seen in the Java lessons -
manually writing a Connection class, and Mapper classes (Prepared
and Callable statements)
...but I also don't really know how to fill in the gap between Swing
(view) and the sqlmaps + beans...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
A desperate ;-) student
Greeting, PieterB
