JPublish DB Module 0.2 Released

JPublish DB Module version 0.2 is now available for download at http://www.jpublish.org/modules

JPublish is an open source web publishing framework which merges the Velocity template engine from the Jakarta Apache group with a content repository and application control framework. Like all good web frameworks, JPublish provides a clean separation of code, content, and layout.

The JPublish DB Module provides easy database access from within JPublish applications. It is useful for prototyping or developing simple web applications which require access to an SQL database. The DB Module provides means for executing queries, inserts, updates and deletes. SQL statements are defined declaratively in XML configuration files making it easy to make modifications without a need to restart your server. Results are automatically exposed to your pages making it easy to present data to your users.

Changes in this release: Added <multiple> tag to the index.xml example page. Added info to documentation about <multiple> element. PreparedStatement arguments will now first be searched for in the request parameters and then from the request attributes. This is useful so that actions executed before the db.* action can insert additional field values into the database.
