Good question. One thing to consider is that you can use some of those tags in read-only mode, and not break the MVC paradigm. For example, you can use <sql:query> to query a database and access the results. That does not break model data encapsulation, and saves some servlet (presumably) the trouble of executing the query and packaging the results for a view (JSP page) to access. On the other hand, if you want to adhere to MVC, you probably don't want to use actions like <sql:update> or <sql:transaction> which actually modify model data. david > > > Cheers, > > Jayson Falkner > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- > 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]>
