FAQ

2001-07-07 Thread Ted Husted
I'm starting to bring the FAQ up to date, to help deal with the rising tide on the user list. I had started one on the FAQ-o-Matic, but is simply too unreliable. For now, I've put up what I already had floating around on More About Struts, http://husted.com/about/struts/FAQ and would hope

There are some good instructions for Windows and Unix at the bottom of http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html I'm using Mindterm to establish the SSH connection, and then WinCVS. The instructions there have you set up a tunnel from your localhost, so in WinCVS you end up using

JDBC RowSet Support. Update all of the relevant tags to get and set attributes from a JDBC RowSet (or ResultSet) object ... So, I'm itching to do something about this. I've been wrapping my RowSets up in iterators and conventional JB facades, but it's like way too much work. I'm just getting

Do we need to worry about the implementation? Can't we just write against javax.sql.RowSet, and leave the implementation up to the developer? Craig R. McClanahan wrote: In the short term, it might make sense for somebody to write a javax.sql.RowSet implementation for a read only RowSet.

Oleg, The sample WAR for the bean-factory and pager tag doesn't include the source for the sample bean. Would it be possible to include that too? Also, what does it expect in the way of a database definition. I haven't been able to get it to run (null pointer exception). -Ted.
