I'm trying to figure out how to use a mysql database in an cocoon action.
I'm using cocoon 2.1.10

I have a mysql database and forms for all the attributes of all the tables. When the form action returns the new values for all the attributes in a table what is the recommended way to get a basic sql update to happen.

I found the modulardatabaseAction wiki document and I can see how I can make a descriptor file that describes a table but

1) where does this file go.
2) how does the sql update command get created?

I guess I can just put jdbc command in a java class and use the <map:act> to call the class but it looks likes a lot of good folks have already solved this problem but the solution is not obvious to me. I found the ModularDatabaseActions wiki pages
but I have not found a how-to or tutorial and where all the pieced go.

I have seen the database connection stuff and the pooling stuff so it seems like I should not create another mysql connection in my java code but I do not know how to get at and use the connection in cocoon.

I can query my database using the sql transform and that works great. Now I need to get data back into the tables.
