Hi Jeroen,
Any idea what framework to use if we want to map stored procedures with object types and recordtypes and plsqltables as out parameters ?
From what i can see it isn’t really easy to do this with Ibatis

I think for dynamic sql, a much better alternative is the SQLOrm (sql orm) framework. It does the sql in java rather than the XML but in a truly light weight maner.

I tend to disagree with your conclusion that “iBATIS is for the really simple stuff”. In our organization, we have a very complex system of table relationships (where some table and column mappings are stored as values in other tables), stored procedures, db objects and collections, and other things that Hibernate or EJB3 simply cannot map or maps poorly. iBATIS was really the only choice save doing it completely manually.

One unique feature of iBATIS is the custom type handlers, which make mapping enums to columns very nice. From what I’ve read, this can be approximated with enums in EJB3.

Still, I think you’re right in that most anyone who is programming straight JDBC can get up to speed very quickly and be better off for it. If you combine iBATIS with Spring’s JDBC template API, you can potentially “upgrade” to Hibernate or JPA at some later time.
