I am so happy with iBatis ibator 1.1. The new updateByExample is exactly
what I needed. And the new countByExample will save me a great deal of time
as well. The Eclipse plug-in installed flawlessly into BM Rational
Application Devloper 7, i.e., "RAD 7". Plus, the ibator eclipse plug-in
installed a comprehensive online help system that is accessible from the RAD 7
help system.
I do wish however that I could print out the ibator user manual so that I
can keep it in hard copy formal. The user manual that comes with the ibator
download is in html and does not lend itself to printing in one shot.
Finally, I wish there was a way to show support for iBatis and iBatis
ibator. It needs to gain wider recognition because it is much more useful and
easier to use than its competitors. Ibator especially is not nearly as widely
known as it should be. I personally spoke with the author of "POJOs in Action:
Developing Enterprise Applications with Lightweight Frameworks" and even though
that book covers iBatis, the author had never heard of Abator until I told him
about it.
In conclusion, iBatis ibator rocks. Let's get the word out to more people
about it.
