The iBATIS Framework and Its Usage

The thesis deals with the description of the Java edition of iBATIS, the open-source persistent framework, and the possibilities of its utilization. The iBATIS framework belongs among the world-class products on the field of persistent solutions and is commonly used by large corporate applications, usually together with the Spring Framework. The thesis presents general principles of the framework's operation, related and competitive projects and the ways of its utilization is demonstrated with fragments of code from my example application to a great extent. The goal of the thesis is to make the reader familiar with the basic principles the framework is built on, its philosophy and technologies it uses for its operation. Raising the level of my developer skills and experience also belongs among the desired goals. All the goals were achieved by explaining the theoretical base and its connection with the practical part, which is represented by the example author application. This application makes up the main personal contribution to the discussed problematic, which is further ameliorated by my personal evaluation and remarks on the topic.
