Out of this research came this article, which provides the reader with instructions on how to reference and use the JSTL taglibs across most common servlet containers. I did this out of frustration with the lack of organized information on this subject, and the endless postings on the subject in the Spring MVC forums - not super exciting, but hopefully it helps someone! java server standards Fri, 09 May 2008 13:00:24 GMT http://www.dzone.com/links/80162.html Peter Mularien 2008-05-09T13:00:24Z I dug in and did some research on use of JSTL across various servlet spec versions and application servers.

The most common case of this is with the IN clause, which by definition is intended to accept a variable length argument list. JDBC, for those who don’t know, does not allow variable-length bound parameters. Having worked with Spring’s Hibernate abstraction (HibernateTemplate) for some time, I have gotten used to Spring’s value-added feature of expanding Collections bound to HQL parameters (it’s a shame that Hibernate doesn’t natively support this, AFAIK). I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Spring offers JDBC support for this feature as well.
