EA versions of JSTL supported this, but version 1.0 of the specification
did not, primarily because it wasn't clear that JSTL should be used for
such advanced applications and because there were some tricky
implementation issues (concerning, e.g., what should be done with
exceptions that ResultSetMetaData methods throw).
If you need access to metadata, it's probably best to write your
database-access code in a servlet. If you think it would be particularly
convenient for a future version of JSTL to offer this feature, you could
send a comment to the official JSTL feedback address at
