I agree with your premise. However, some shops like to keep things elementary -- like to cook their own dog food so they know what it's made of.
I'm far too lazy to write JDBC calls everywhere, and this seems to be the dominant behavior of folks :-( Once I get the spit and polish of my subsystem, I'm going to push it as a better solution -- that was cooked in-house -- to help speed production and reduce errors (since folks don't have to write JDBC). The reuse I've seen so far where I'm at is "Oh, copy this or that". It's true that this is sometimes on the file level, but I much prefer having drop-in, easily-configurable components. Hopefully, I'll be able to infect everyone around me with the same attitude ... It ain't iBatis (or some other OS package), and it probably never will be, but it beats the dog out of coding directly to JDBC :-) I totally agree that "raising the level" above JDBC is an important step ... but my point is that some of us will have to do the level-raising ourselves - by hand.
