I think I need to clarify: I am not being unfair to Larry's point when I say JDBC is faster. You can't build ontop of JDBC and then be faster than what you built upon. Reflection is slower than normal Java access - and if I can find the stats I will show them.
With that said, IBATIS can be "faster" by its built-in caching so that you don't have to hit the database on every DAO method. That's true. I use caching myself -- and with IBATIS! My point was a narrow point -- on DB access with no thrills, JDBC will always be the fastest since its the most featureless - it is the base standard for ORM tools themselves. I think Larry's point and my point are the same, with differing emphasis. I hope I've been fair :) -- Paul __________________________________ Yahoo!
