Isn't Spring's DAO layer essentially the same thing as this? It can use SQL Maps or JDBC or Hibernate, etc. Why would you use this over Spring?

Spring?

No. Spring's DAO layer kinda sucks. For simple stuff is it fine. But as soon as you start using paramerterized queries, stored proc, etc. it becomes more tedious that raw jdbc. -

What about using Spring's DAO layer to simplify accessing iBATIS? I like it because it allows you to set primary keys w/o having database-specific code in your SQL.xml mapping files (example (http://tinyurl.com/c5zbs) ). Of course, if iBATIS supported JDBC 3.0 and getGeneratedKeys(), there might be a more elegant solution. Last time I checked (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATIS-142) , they didn't support it.
