How to use JSTL sql tag

Question

<%@taglib prefix=\"c\" uri=\"http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core\" %>
<%@taglib prefix=\"sql\" uri=\"http://java.sun.com/jstl/sql\" %>



        

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM provider;

Replace your code and import sql package

or import sql package and Remove ; from your select statement

Answer 2

My advice would be to forget about the <sql> tags completely, and to make all your database operations in plain Java (in a servlet or action of your preferred MVC framework). This servlet would build a list of bean instances, ready to be displayed by your JSP. Use RequestDispatcher to dispatch the request to the JSP from the servlet.

Even the official Java EE tutorial says:

The JSTL SQL tags for accessing databases listed in Table 7-7 are designed for quick prototyping and simple applications. For production applications, database operations are normally encapsulated in JavaBeans components.

Answer 3

 <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql" %>   


<sql:setDataSource var="dataSource" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/cloud" user="root"  password="root"
scope="session" /> 


<sql:query var="qryProvider" dataSource="${dataSource}">

    SELECT * FROM provider;
</sql:query>

<table>
    <c:forEach var="row" items="${qryProvider.rows}">
        <tr>
            <td>${row.display_name}</td>

        </tr>
    </c:forEach>
</table>
