As we all know, the application/database relationship domain is one of the hardest, most time consuming, and complex areas of applications. iBatis is one solution that is filling the gap and making these relationships as painless as possible. iBatis consists of two pieces. One which allows robust mapping between database and application domain objects. As well as another piece that provides abstraction of the data access layer all together. iBatis is a good greenfield development tool, however, it's even more useful in legacy system additions and rewrites, when connecting to existing databases where the schema can't be changed.
