* What operating system and .NET version are you using?
Windows Server 2003, 1.1
* In what contexts are you currently using iBATIS.NET?
Multi-threaded web and windows applications.
* What is your use?
Production
* What do you think of the quality of these libraries?
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.
