- Java Development Kit (JDK) version 1.3 or later
- "java.exe" and "javac.exe" accessible via $PATH
- CLASSPATH must include the sqltags-0.x.x.jar file and the JDBC Driver for your database
Setup (for the impatient)
- Copy the "sqltags-0.x.x.jar" and your JDBC jar files into the WEB-INF/lib/ directory
- Add the Jar files (including JDBC) to your CLASSPATH
- Run the SQLTags Generator and build your custom tag library. Save the generated jar file into the WEB-INF/lib/ directory
Windows:
java -classpath sqltags-x-x-x.jar;anyJdbc.jar SQLTags
Unix:
java -classpath sqltags-x-x-x.jar:anyJdbc.jar SQLTags
- Be sure that both "jar" files (above) are in the web server's CLASSPATH
- create a "properties" file to describe the database connection and place it into
the WEB-INF/ directory
