Lets make sure everyone is on the same page here. First the terms. IBATIS Cache == a collection of Resultsets Resultset == collection of rows from the executed query.
Like is has been said a few times ibatis caches resultsets. So here are some examples. Lets start with a query for People that takes a parameter of last name. Lets set the cache size to be 100. The first time you call it with a last name of Jones. Now your cache has 1 item in with all the results of your query for "Jones". This is one tip to the DB. Now you call it with "Smith". No you have 2 items in your cache. Round trip number two! Last but not least you call the first query one more time. Cache still has 2 items in it and you are still at a total of 2 DB trips. Sizing your cache is a person decision. This maybe something that needs adjusting over time. Find out what works for your app with your memory configuration. One good example might be a query for a User object after someone logs into your system. Lets say you have 10k users but only 500 are ever online at one time. You might want to set your Users cache to 500. This way the most active and most recent are in the cache if you are using a LRU cache.
