Heh, Always nice to see a discussion like this, instead of having it turn into a stupid flamewar. I have to agree with James Mitchell that it is very true that not everybody has the opportunity nor the time to really LEARN j2ee programming. In that aspect the sql-tags do indeed make for a lower Java threshold. Also, some of you seem to be aware of the risks of this kind of programming (it's not altogether that extensible, etc.etc.). I have to agree with you that if you're aware that there is another more longterm solution it is sometimes still needed to listen to your manager/whatever and do your work in less time.
Although I might have spoken a bit too hastily, I still have to conclude that I don't like the sql-taglibs. Although I definitely understand some of the reasoning behind it, you always have to keep telling those that are not familiar with Java programming that there is a better solution. This might in the end take more time than not having the taglib in the first place...
