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?
2000, XP, 2003, .NET 1.1 and 2.0
* In what contexts are you currently using iBATIS.NET?
Web Applications
Web Services
* What is your use?
Production
* What do you think of the quality of these libraries?
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.
* Why have you selected iBATIS.NET?
Open Source and flexible for different database back-ends.
* What's your overall opinion of iBATIS?
- What you like / dislike?
I like the object mapping, obviously. The maps are easy to use.
Dynamic sql is excellent!
- What could be improved?
Documentation!!!
* About the documentation? (A book is on the rail :-)...)
- Is it clear?
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.
