Re: [Springframework-developer] Release schedule

[Paul F. <pau...@ho...>]

Guys,

I would have to Juergen's analysis of the Struts plugin that I submitted -
it does seem superfluous.  The plugin increases the number of 3rd party
dependencies and this seems pointless if we can achieve the same end by
using ServletContext.  I wrote it purely because my current project already
uses Struts - not my decision - and was pointed in the direction of the
plugin via the book.  I never thought of the alternatives, plus I was keen
to submit something and become part of the group.

I have a question regarding data access that I'd appreciate some help on: I
need to write to and retrieve data from a clob - what would you say my best
approach is, and can I use the data access framework?

Regards,

Paul
