db tag attribute

[Kyuss]

hopefully somebody can help me out with this

i am using the beta custom tag library <dbtags> for reading/writing to a sql db.

http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-taglibs/nightly/projects/dbtags/

doc:

http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/dbtags-doc/index.html#getColumn

now after a simple select query, instead of returning the resultset and imeadiatly displaying it to the screen like:

<sql:getColumn colName=&quot;stuff&quot;/>

i want to be able to manipulate this data which should store the result in some sort of variable that is mentioned as a servlet attribute?

<sql:getColumn colName=&quot;stuff&quot; to=&quot;varName&quot; scope=&quot;page&quot;/>

this seems to work fine, i just dont know how to access this data after the query is executed

hope this makes sense...

thanks in advance
