Sorry to hear this.

I've added a couple of methods to JdbcTemplate and two new interfaces,
PreparedStatementSetter and BulkPreparedStatement setter.  The aim is to
provide an easy-to-use API when we don't need to create the PS, just set
values on it.  I did this test-first (as I am doing consistently now), so
test coverage is up marginally.

This coverage on the jdbc.object package is great! Thanks a lot!

Finally, I agree with Juergen.  I've found it very easy to hook up Spring to
various projects, and Struts appears to be similiarly easy.  Rather than
having native struts support inside Spring, it would propbably be better to
simply maintain a how-to tutorial on integrating Spring with Struts.  It
would accomplish the same thing without affecting the code base and
introducing dependancies.

Yes, my first thought was to do exactly as Paul did. (In fact I think I
mention it in the book somewhere.) But the ServletContext does provide
communication.

Despite my low opinion of Struts, I think we have to help users who want to
use Struts + Spring, as many people are committed to Struts and still need
many of the services Spring provides.

Paul, what do you think?
