JSTL doc inconsistency, and a question

[Paul DuBois <pa...@snake.net>]

The inconsistency:

The JSTL docs for the sql tags seem to be inconsistent about the
specification of attributes for the <sql:driver> tag.  In some cases
the URL attribute is called "url", in other places it's call "jdbcURL".
(The latter appears to be correct.)

Also, a question. The SQL tag documentation says:

>All parameters, except for "password", can be specified via an action
>attribute or a context init parameter (see below). Action attributes
>take precedence over context init parameters. The password configuration
>parameter can only be specified via a context init parameter to prevent
>situations where sensitive information would be hard coded in a JSP
>page.
>
>The context init parameters are:
>
>*	javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.driver.driver
>*	javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.driver.url
>*	javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.driver.user
>*	javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.driver.password

I wouldn't mind seeing an example of how you set up and reference these
context init params from within a JSP page/JSTL tags.  I'm assuming
you set them up as <context-param> entries in WEB-INF/web.xml
but after grepping through the standard-examples application it's
not clear to me from the docs whether that's really so or the intended
syntax for accessing them.
Thanks.

Good catch! The documentation has changed recently and the context init
parameters should be:

* javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.driver
* javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.url
* javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.user
* javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.password

I've updated the implementation and the documentation to reflect the latest
context init params. Here's an example of how you can set the params:

    <context-param>
        <param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.user</param-name>
        <param-value>someusername</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.password</param-name>
        <param-value>someuserpassword</param-value>
    </context-param>
