tsx:userid and tsx:passwd tag JavaServer Pages syntax (deprecated)

With the <tsx:userid> and <tsx:passwd> tags, you do not have to hard code a user ID and password in the <tsx:dbconnect> tag.

Deprecated feature: Support for tsx tags in the JavaServer Pages (JSP) engine are deprecated in WebSphere® Application Server Version 6.0. Instead of using the tsx tags, you should use equivalent tags from the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL).

Use the <tsx:userid> and <tsx:passwd> tags to accept user input for the values and then add that data to the request object. You can access the request object with a JavaServer Pages (JSP) file, such as the JSPEmployee.jsp example that requests the database connection.

You must use <tsx:userid> and <tsx:passwd> tags within a <tsx:dbconnect> tag.

This section describes the syntax of the <tsx:userid> and <tsx:passwd> tags.

<tsx:dbconnect id=connection_id
    <font color=red><userid></font>
    <tsx:getProperty name=request property=request.getParameter(userid) />
    <font color=red></userid></font>
    <font color=red><passwd></font>
    <tsx:getProperty name=request property=request.getParameter(passwd) />
    <font color=red></passwd></font>
    url=protocol:database_name:database_table
    driver=JDBC_driver_name> 
</tsx:dbconnect>

where:

<tsx:getProperty>
Represents the syntax as a mechanism for embedding variable data.
userid
Represents a reference to the request parameter that contains the user ID. You must add the parameter to the request object that passes to this JSP file. You can set the attribute and its value in the request object, using an HTML form or a URL query string to pass the user-specified request parameters.
passwd
Represents a reference to the request parameter that contains the password. Add the parameter to the request object that passes to this JSP file. You can set the attribute and its value in the request object, using an HTML form or a URL query string, to pass user-specified values.
