Thanks Shawn, That is apparently not it. I now get a null pointer exception in the call to doStartTag(). There is a call just above that ".setParent(null)" so that may be an indication that my configuration is not quite right. The last call recorded in my log is 'getConnection()' so that seems to be completing (the exceptions are not logged). I was hoping that there was a more complete example somewhere which includes the context setup part, but I guess I need to just keep looking.
Your book should be a valuable resource. I am looking forward to it.

Rows returned are:$stuff.getSize()" I think you're just using the expression incorrectly. You want to write <c:out value="${stuff.size}" /> instead. -- Shawn Bayern Author, "JSP Standard Tag Library" http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this summer from Manning Publications) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
