iBatis object relationships

[Durgaprasad Guduguntla]

I am learning iBatis and found very interesting and simple. Does this framework support object relationships like one-one, one-many, many-many etc?

Yes it does. There is documentation on the iBatis website that covers this in brief. I was told in another the thread the book covers this in depth.

I have downloaded the JPetStore application that explains iBatis implementation. It does not seem to support object relationships as is evident from the configuration files and the following code snippets. You need to explicitly make method calls to populate the objects.

public Order getOrder(int orderId) {
    Order order = null;
    Object parameterObject = new Integer(orderId);
    order = (Order) queryForObject("getOrder", parameterObject);
    order.setLineItems(queryForList("getLineItemsByOrderId",
                                  new Integer(order.getOrderId())));
    return order;
  }

Thanks for the link. Yes I see some examples showing up the object relationships.
