Action - DatabaseSelectAction and XSP + ESQL
Hi Guys
Between Action - DatabaseSelectAction and XSP + ESQL
Which is better?
Which is easier to code?
How am I suppose to get the results on the Action - DatabaseSelectAction?
Thanks
Richard

They target different use cases. To output the values, esql is easier
and leaner. You might want to consider the SQLTransformer as well. If
you use XSP, I would still recommend esql. If XSP is not needed, the
transformer approach is 'better'. Action + transformer is also
possible, but IMO unecessarily complex.

Since you would need to code the output in XSP anyways, esql.

They are stored in request attributes (see javadocs / docs for names).
