Hi, I read in the doco that: 1.. Write the column value, as a String, to a page attribute via the "to" attribute. If you want, you may optionally assign a scope other than "page" with the "scope" attribute. If the database column is null, the getColumn tag will not create an attribute. Here's a getColumn tag that creates an Integer request attribute:
<%-- Note that the request attribute will be a String --%> <sql:getColumn position="1" to="someId" scope="request"/> Is there a reason why the value could not be put into the request as an Object instead of a String. I think the last line in the doco is a little confusing by saying that an Integer request attribute is created, when in fact, "the request attribute will be a String". Cheers, Nick
