pre-release JDBC tag change and page/application/request etc. observation

Hi all,

I made a change to the JDBC tag library.  I found the
<wasNull value="(true|false)"> syntax awkward, so I
broke it into two seperate tags: wasNull and
wasNotNull.  I think that's much more clear.  There's
sample usage in the jsp, and I'm about to update the
documentation as well.

On that note, I think we should consider abandoning
the value="(true|false)" syntax in page, application,
request, response, and session.  When Glenn finishes
repackaging them into a single taglib, I think I will
create NotEqual and NotExist tags and remove the
"value" attribute.  Any thoughts?  As you can see from
the WasNotNullTag.java source, it should be very
efficient to do without unncecessary code duplication.

- Morgan
