MyBatis is a Java persistence framework that couples objects with stored procedures or SQL statements using an XML descriptor or annotations.

MyBatis lets you use all your database functionality like stored procedures, views, queries of any complexity and vendor proprietary features.

It is often a good choice for legacy or de-normalized databases or to obtain full control of SQL execution.

The following sample shows a basic XML configuration that sets up a mapper and injects it into a "BlogService" bean.

Migrations allows to query the current status of the database, apply schema changes and also undo them.

It also helps to detect and solve concurrent database schema changes made by different developers.

The project was created on May 19, 2010 when Apache iBATIS 3.0 was published and the team announced that the development will continue under a new name and a new home at Google Code.
