• MyBatis is an open source.


• MyBatis is a persistence framework, it is available for Java/.NET .


• It also support custom SQL, stored procedures and advanced mappings.


• MyBatis eliminates almost all of the JDBC code and manual setting of parameters and retrieval of results.


• MyBatis can use simple XML or Annotations for configuration and map primitives, Map interfaces and Java POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) to database records.


• June 2010, iBatis was under Apache license and since then, the framework founders decided to move it to Google Code and they renamed it to MyBatis.



NOTE :

1. MyBatis is not an ORM.
2. It does not generate SQL.
3. Does not build an Object Cache.

MyBatis	Hibernate
MyBatis is very easy to learn.	Hibernate is relatively more complex and higher threshold.
MyBatis is an open source product.	Hibernate is also an excellent open source product.
MyBatis is a persistence framework that provides the benefits of SQL but avoids the complexity of JDBC.	Hibernate includes a very powerful query language called Hibernate Query Language (HQL).
MyBatis encourages the direct use of SQL and ensures that all the benefits of SQL are not overridden by the framework itself.	HQL is very similar to SQL, and also defines some additional conventions.
Simplicity is MyBatis's greatest advantage, as it provides a simple mapping and API layer that can be used to build data-access code.	HQL also supports many advanced features of pagination and dynamic profiling that SQL has never supported.
MyBatis enables the data model and the object model to be independent of each other.	HQL does not require any explicit joins when working with multiple tables.
MyBatis is best used when you need complete control of the SQL.	Hibernate makes object-relational mapping simple by mapping the metadata in an XML file that defines the table in the database that needs to be mapped to a particular class.

There are two steps to follow :

Step 1

First download the require jars mybatis3.jar and as well as mysql.jar

From :
http://grepcode.com/snapshot/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.mybatis/mybatis/3.0.3
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.0.php

Step 2

Add mybatis3.jar and mysql.jar into classpath by rightclick on project
>> properties >> java buildpath >> add external jars >> browse for mybatis3.jar and mysql.jar >> click OK.
