IBM extensions to JSP tags

WAS also supports IBM extensions and additions to the JSP specification. See the following topics for more information about the IBM extensions and their syntax:

<tsx:dbconnect>
This tag specifies information that is needed to connect to a database.

<tsx:userid> and <tsx:passwd>
Use these tags as variables for user ID and password input.

<tsx:dbquery>
Use this tag to query a database and return the results.

<tsx:dbmodify>
This tag allows you to add records to a database.

<tsx:repeat>
Use this tag to iterate through a the results set of a database query.

<tsx:getProperty>
This tag gets the value of a bean to display in the JSP file.

Note: Use of these tags are not recommended unless you are migrating your JSPs from WAS Version 3.5. Use of the IBM extension tags in your JSP files diminishes their potential to be ported to a non-WebSphere application server.
