Yes. In fact, you're using DataSource objects no matter what you do; <sql:driver> simply serves to expose a DataSource. For applications that aren't prototypes or relatively small, you can manage DataSource objects in back-end code and simply expose them to your JSTL pages. > Also, if i'm using the <sql:driver> action, is there a way for the url > and driver to be read from <context-param> in WEB-INF\web.xml?

The parameters for URL and driver, respectively, are javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.driver and javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.url -- Shawn Bayern Author, "JSP Standard Tag Library" http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this spring from Manning Publications) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
