In this second tutorial of a three-part series, learn more about how you can improve persistence in your database-driven Java™ applications by combining Apache Derby's power as a small-footprint embeddable database with the iBATIS object-relational (OR) mapping framework. In Part 2, you use iBATIS's Data Access Objects (DAO) and Data Mapper to access an application's underlying data structure effectively.

In this tutorial

• The JPetStore application
  
  
• The DAO framework
  
  
• The data model
  
  
• The object model
  
  
• Taking iBATIS out for a spin
  

Prerequisites

To follow the tutorial's examples and create the database you must be comfortable working with basic SQL statements, understand basic XML semantics, be able to read Java code, and know how to run Apache Ant.

System requirements

To run the example code in this tutorial, you need to download and install several applications, define environmental variables, extract the .zip file, modify a .properties file.
