Hi Ate, Sorry for the delay. To answer your questions:
1) Yes, you should send all inquiries for iBATIS SQL Maps, DAO and JPetStore to the mailing lists or JIRA found on the support page below. This will ensure the most prompt response. http://www.ibatis.com/support.html 2) Yes, you are more than welcome to include JPetStore as a sample application with Jetspeed-2. It is licensed under the Apache license just like the rest of iBATIS. 3) I am interested in the modifications you've made to the JSPs. However, JPetStore will eventually undergo a major rewrite to correct a lot of the "historical scars" and to make it a better example application. I'd prefer to wait for that before making any broad changes. 4) I have no personal plans to make iBATIS available via ibiblio, but I am not opposed to the idea.
