Recently I found that I'm writing loops to insert lists of objects way too
often. I think it makes sense implementing methods like:
insertList("insertSingleSomeObject",List<SomeObject>) (with
"insertSingleSomeObject" beeing sqlmap entry for inserting single object,
which I have to use in loops)
batchInsert("insertSingleSomeObject",List<SomeObject>) (with batch size
configurable like row prefetch is)
updateList("updateSingleSomeObject",List<SomeObject>)
batchUpdate("updateSingleSomeObject",List<SomeObject>)
Think it will make iBatis more consistent: we have queryForList, i.e.
getting list of objects in a single line of code, so it's quite natural to
expect that one should be able to persist the list in a single call.
Wonder what others think about it.
