My point is: Use a tool that takes care of all the grunt work. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Reumann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 5:11 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [OT] Hibernate vs. iBatis vs. POJO Lindholm, Greg wrote the following on 7/21/2005 1:01 PM: > If your building anything bigger then a toy project then forget POJO > DAOs.

If you can design your data model from scratch on a brand new project than yea maybe Hibernate will fit the bill, otherwise iBATIS will save you much more time and will provide a lot less headaches. How many developers have the privilege of not working with legacy databases? The fact that you state: "You'll spend all your time writing grunt-work plumbing and error handling and maintenance is a nightmare." only shows you haven't even tried iBATIS since, for if you had, you wouldn't be making such erroneous statements. -- Rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
