Using tag lib for all database actions?

[lsyhu]

I am using Websphere Studio Applicaiton Devloper to develop a new web application. WSAD's sample uses jspsql.jar, a big tag library, to handle all database actions. I am surprised, because I had only used some java classes to access database. I wonder if using tag to control database is a good ideal. If you have other options, please also tell me. Any comments are welcome.

Thanks.
