Well, despite rather poor turnout, the consensus seems
to be 2-1 for JNDI support within the taglib, which
means I lose! :) Oh well, you win some, you lose
some.
Glenn, would you be willing to make the necessary
changes to the connection tag and the documentation?
I think an optional attribute called "jndiName" would
be just the thing, agreed? So that would be three
possible ways to obtain a driver: the driver tag, the
dataSource attribute, or the jndiName attribute.
