One thing you may consider ... I have been happy with ibatis 90% of the time. However, I had no choice but to convert good chunk of my project from ibatis to JDBC in the past because of a memory leak issue. I've posed this question here in the past but - here is the code that generated the memory leak:
sqlMapClient.queryWithRowHandler("getLargeQuery", queryParameterDto, this); handleRow(Object someObject) { Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime(); System.out.println("HANDLE ROW: free memory is: " + r.totalMemory() + " : " + r.freeMemory()); System.out.println("free memory is: " + r.totalMemory() + " : " + r.freeMemory()); r.gc(); } Literally, this is the whole test code that was creating the memory leak. As you can see, there is no other java code that could possibly be the culprit. As I noticed the numbers decreasing with each iteration, I decided to convert it to JDBC. Bang! memory leak gone! At that point, I converted everything to JDBC. After that, the same query that was giving me java.lang.outOfMemory every single time disappeared forever. These queries are rather involved with 6 to 7 joins and a "where" clause that would not fit on one page. It's a shopping cart application where the user can pick and choose their criteria so the query can grow indefinitely. I'm only bringing this up again in the hopes that somebody will look into the problem so that in the future I can convert it back to ibatis. All my other projects do use ibatis as most of the projects at our company do not require complex queries that returns millions of rows. And I've been quite happy with them. But I've tried everything to fix it within ibatis - everything from turning off caching (which I understand is the default) to using LRU, MEMORY, ... Maybe I just didn't understand how to tune it properly. But any explanation would be appreciated. However, for now, it is fully converted to JDBC and my customers are happy.
