Hi Kent, Luis,
I do agree that a datasource should be in the logic
layer, not in the JSP/prsentation layer, but I have a
problem to populate the JSP combo box with data that
is retrieved from the database when they first logn
the page. And I think getting a datasource here is
good enouhg :) . Do you have any idea to avoid this.
thank you very much for your help. I think of
prepopulate but I donnot know how to implement it.
