Spring 1.1 and iBATIS 2.0.6

[vscarpenter]

Hi everyone. I am wondering if anyone is having any success using the Spring DAO framework with the latest release of iBATIS 2.0.6? I am starting out small with a pretty vanilla example. Here are the appropriate snippets from the descriptors.

applicationContext.xml
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName">
<value>jdbc/myDS</value>
</property>
</bean>

<bean id="sqlMap" class="org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapFactoryBean">
<property name="configLocation"><value>WEB-INF/SqlMapConfig.xml</value></property>
</bean>


SqlMapConfig.xml

<sqlMapConfig>
<sqlMap resource="com/j2eegeek/ibatis/dao/maps/User.xml"/>
</sqlMapConfig>

On deploy, I get the following error and stacktrace

ERROR [ExecuteThread: '1' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.System'] - Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'sqlMap' defined in resource [/WEB-INF/applic

Now I am not even using the XML output feature of iBATIS but I am still getting a NoClassDefFoundError on XmlSqlMapBuilder. Any ideas before I download the source and start digging? Thanks

You need to use SqlMapClientFactoryBean for iBatis 2.0. SqlMapFactoryBean is only for iBatis 1.x.

The Spring documentation has a table which says which classes to use for 2.0: http://www.springframework.org/docs/reference/orm.html#d0e6039

Of course, many of the examples are for 1.x so you have to watch out for that.

Also, in general, iBatis 1.x and 2.0 are very different, so be aware of that when looking at examples of maps, etc.
