If there is a Tag to deal with ResultSets, and you don't need to post process the data at all, you can use it in a jsp without needing to write any Java on the page. It just becomes a DTO, that the controller hands to the view. Right?
Now, if you only need a subset, and you are passing it over a network to the presentation tier, then you might want an adapter or wrapper type class to trim down the pay load. But, then you could just trim the sql appropriately, too. I'm sure there are other issues, and the whole concept can be made more complicated. There may be security issues, like your front end team can't have access to a ResultSet, esp a 2.0 JDBC one. Best practice in my experience would be use the RS, and refactor if you need to. But, you should not import java.sql in your jsps. So, use a wrapper if you can't find an introspecting tag, or another trick. - gene -- From Marc -- Hello, I would like to know what is for you the best practice to present to a user the result of a db query (a ResultSet variable)? If, you can take some example of your suggestion, it will help me to understand... thank you in advance regards Marc __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
