They are quite good. I've been using them for a while and the quality
has gone up a lot. I don't find it necessary to include the source code
in projects anymore so I can debug when something goes wrong. The
errors, particularly the nested exceptions, give me enough info to
figure out what the problem is. Its quite rare now to hit an error that
isn't obvious.

Open Source and flexible for different database back-ends.

I like the object mapping, obviously. The maps are easy to use.
Dynamic sql is excellent!

Documentation!!!

Its clear for simple stuff, but if you want to do something outside of
that it can be tricky to figure out. Fortunately, this list is quite
good for getting help.
> - Which improvements do you want?
Lots of samples. Better explanations. Patterns would be excellent
> - More samples? Demo applications?
Absolutely!
> - Others...
An updated version of NPetShop with a 2.0 architecture.

Good organization, I'm happy with it so far.
* Why have you selected iBATIS.NET?
Because of its simlpicity and also because I have full control over SQL.
- What you like / dislike?
I like the fact that it's simple to use and that it supports generics, this
helps me a lot. I think a GUI tool for XML editiing would bring a great
improvement in production.
* About the documentation? (A book is on the rail :-)...)
> - Is it clear?
Yes.
- Which improvements do you want?
A very simple case study showing how to setup iBatis from scratch for
beginners, some kinf of tutorial, I missed that when I was beginning. The
available tutorial for .NET no the website is very poor and takes a lot for
granted.
* About yours projects using iBATIS.NET, your company?
We use iBatis in a school management system, my school is at
http://www.aridesa.com.br in Fortaleza, Brazil, it's one of the most
important schools in our state, Ceará.

I've encountered just one problem (pluggable session storage) that I
haven't overcome. Overall, the libraries seem to be good.
>
> * Why have you selected iBATIS.NET?
I was already using IBatis for Java. For a larger Java project, I'm
using Hibernate. And next time for a large project, I will evaluate
NHibernate before going with IBatis.
But IBatis's simplicity is what makes it attractive.
> * What's your overall opinion of iBATIS?
It is a good product
> - What you like / dislike?
Bad:
- Getting log4net to log is a pain.
- Session storage should be pluggable.
I like the seperation of sql statements from code.
> - What could be improved?
- Annotation support would be awesome.
- Better log messages for mapping errors would be great.
- Don't know why I have to worry about providers.config
> - What problems do you encounter?
Log4Net, session storage
> * About the documentation? (A book is on the rail :-)...)
Please, please, please make the documentation available in HTML online
> * About yours projects using iBATIS.NET, your company?
The main project that uses IBatis is a Shipping application which does
a LOT of background processing via threads and has a bunch of Kron
jobs scheduled (hence all the session storage problems since its not
necessarily a web context). A windows application that uses web
services exposed by the same web application is also in production.

Hello,
The iBATIS team wants to know your opinion / suggestion about
iBATIS.NET.
This will help us to see what is important for you and which
improvements can be made in future version.
Thanks for participation.
* What operating system and .NET version are you using?
Windows Xp/Windows 2003 .NET 2.0
* In what contexts are you currently using iBATIS.NET?
ASP.NET Web application, soon to investigate use with web services to
service front end Forms apps.
* What is your use?
In production.
* What do you think of the quality of these libraries?
Excellent, I use iBatis and Nhibernate depending on certain factors such
as database backend format.
* Why have you selected iBATIS.NET?
Reasonably easy to get started. Good start on documentation, good user
forum.
Works well where Nhibernate doesn't seem to fit (Reporting for example,
and stored proc usage)
* What's your overall opinion of iBATIS?
It's a easy product to integrate into our applications.
I have tried various systems, datasets, MS Data Access Block,
Nhibernate, iBatis. I'm definitely impressed with both Nhibernate and
iBatis over the Microsoft solutions. I am keeping one eye open on ADO
vNext though, as it appears to be attempting to do certain things that
iBatis and nHibernate are doing. Although in common MS fashion, they'll
probably fart it up.
- What could be improved?
Be nice if there were more bloggers giving out more articles of
patterns, tutorials, sample code.
- What problems do you encounter?
None sofar.
- What features are you most interested in?
The current feature set seems adequate for my needs.
* About the documentation? (A book is on the rail :-)...)
Go the book! I'll buy a copy.
- Is it clear?
I was first put off with the approach the documentation took on
test-first design. I am not a test-first developer
But do try to be agile with my approach. I just found it strange (from
the norm) of presenting a tutorial this way.
It may be off-putting to a certain group of people who have never been
exposed to writing tests first.
Some people just like a more common explanation or build up style
example.
- Which improvements do you want?
- More samples? Demo applications?
Always love more samples, & more demos. I'd love something which I
found very useful with Nhibernate, a best practices style article.
Eg
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/NHibernateBestPractices.asp?df=100&for
umid=278860&mpp=50&fr=51
This article from Billy McCafferty was a real good heads up, something
similar to iBatis would be immensely useful. Sort of a patterns and
practise for the product.
Thanks for such a great product!. And I must get my act together and
paypal or get something off your Amazon list.

* What do you think of the quality of these libraries?
- Excellent
* Why have you selected iBATIS.NET?

- I really don't like Hibernate (give me ActiveRecord any day :D) or
working with bare ADO.
* What's your overall opinion of iBATIS?
- I've been very impressed with it, especially the new .Net2.0 version.
I wrote my own collection wrappers around the old version, and now the
new methods seem to mirror my wrappers! Pretty easy to get used to. :D
* About the documentation? (A book is on the rail :-)...)
- I usually just scan documentation for examples, and the ones for this
project are very thorough and useful.
* About yours projects using iBATIS.NET, your company?
- I work for a health insurance company and we are working on putting as
much functionality on the web as we can.
Thanks for the great project!
