I should be backwards compatible, if it is not, something is wrong.
The idea is to have several connections with different names ('ids')
within config file. That one without a name is the default one, like 
this:

        <dbconnection
                name   = "jdbc:xyjbc://..."
                isJndi = "false"
                conClass  = "foo.bar.jdbc.JdbcDriver"
                username = "jamesbond"
                password  = "topsecret"
        />

        <dbconnection
                name   = "jdbc:abcddbc://..."
                isJndi = "false"
                conClass  = "foo.bar2.jdbc.JdbcDriver"
                username = "M"
                password  = "queen"
                id="db2"
        />

       <dbconnection
                name   = "jdbc:mysql://..."
                isJndi = "false"
                conClass  = "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
                username = "foo"
                password  = "bar"
                id="topsecdb"
        />

The first one does not have the id attribute, it is the default one.
Several tags now have been extended to support a new attribute 
'dbConnectionName' that can be used to switch between connection:

 <db:dbForm table="abc" dbConnectionName="topsecdb" ....> ...
 ....
 <db:select ...>
    <db:tableData dbConnectionName="db2"...>

However:

 - as Luca said: He still has to upload some changes
 - the code still contains some lines for an earlier version
   which might irritate (e.g. a tag 'dbformsconnections' that
   will not be used any more) 
 - there are bugs, some are known

John has volunteered to help here, so I sent him and Luca all
the latest information I had.

Dirk
