Summary

In this chapter, we discussed how Spring integrates with MyBatis (formerly iBATIS) when developing data access logic. Topics included the core concepts, configuration, and mapping definition, and so on.

Then, we discussed how to perform various database operations using MyBatis. We covered various techniques in retrieving data with different associations and how to use dynamic SQL.

In this chapter, we covered only a small portion of the features available in MyBatis when implementing most common database operations. For detailed information about MyBatis and its documentation, please refer to the project web site (www.mybatis.org).
