I wouldn't describe the responses as "snobby". The question was confusing because Struts has nothing to do with SQL Server or database access in general. You can code JDBC in Struts actions just like a normal Servlet app. There is no "Struts way" to do database access. > The funny thing is its the > same folks recommending JSTL which have SQL as part of the lib. That's like saying you shouldn't use JSP because it lets you create confusing scriptlets. You don't have to use the JSTL's sql tags just like you don't have to use JSP scriptlets for them to both be good technologies.
