Hi if any one is using the jakarta taglibs for database connection and database tag libraries, could any one please help me in writing the connection to oracle database which is on unixmachine using the thin driver. I have stopped my work at this point and don;t know how to proceed to get the connection from the databse using this database tags of jakarta. Appreciate anyone's quick response.

No, I get: org.apache.jasper.compiler.CompileException: /tables.jsp(19,0) According to the TLD attribute var is mandatory for tag update at org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagBeginGenerator.validate(TagBeginGenerator.java:159) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagBeginGenerator.init(TagBeginGenerator.java:129) etc. I do get a NullPointerException if I leave out the dataSource attribute, though. :-) > >Shawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
