Re: Struts/SQL Server rephrased

I think what folks are trying to say is that the SQL stuff is separate 
to the struts stuff, and this is kind of what its about. There is a 
data source definition that confuses the hell out of people new to 
struts as it seems to implicitly suggest that it should be used.

However most of the folks advise against its use as it encourages 
breaking with MVC.. That said, there are examples in the documentation 
and if you're used to quick dirty SQL in html pages then using struts 
even when breaking MVC is still progress.

You'll want some JDBC references and google will find you some.

when you've got the hang of doing SQL (JDBC) stuff in your struts 
flavored webapp. I really dont know why folks get so snobby about 
people breaking with MVC to get started.. The funny thing is its the 
same folks recommending JSTL which have SQL as part of the lib.

When you've done all that and you've seen what a pain it can be, you'll 
naturally arrive at the point where you'll hate SQL and be gagging for 
an object-relational bridge. But I'd worry about this when you get 
here..

Hope this helps

Let's restate the question...
I'm new to struts and my database is SQL Server.  Can
someone point me in the correct direction where to
find out how to set up an environment that utilizes
these two to build an application?

Hi Godfrey,

I can't think of any, but I'm positive you would
get some pointers if
you asked the Struts user list. I'll send a copy
this to the list.
Does anyone know of a good Struts tutorial that
also deals with using
SQL Server?
They are completely unrelated topics.  Struts
actions should never know
where you're getting your data.
