It looks like you're using an older version (JDBC Tags), I'm using dbtags which store this value in the pageContext. You could either switch to dbtags or possibly add something like the following to your RowCountTag and recompile and package it:
StatementTag stmtTag = getStatementTag(); int rowCount = stmtTag.getTotalRowCount(); if(rowCount == -1) throw new JspTagException("rowCount tag must be used inside or after a ResultSet tag."); //The next line is new Added---> pageContext.setAttribute( "rowCount", new Integer(rowCount) ); pageContext.getOut().write(String.valueOf(rowCount)); Then you could get the row count in your page as: <% Integer myRowCount = (Integer)pageContext.getAttribute("rowCount"); %> -----Original Message----- From: sufi malak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 12:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: can we assign <sql:rowCount/> to a variable ??
