This is a
generic way to select data from a table and show the results in an HTML table using JSP taglibs. What is the
generic way to do this in Grails? That is, take a few lines of SQL and generate an HTML table from scratch in Grails, including the column names as headers.
<sql:query var="results" dataSource="${dsource}"
select * from foo
</sql:query
(# of rows: ${results.rowCount})
<table border="1"
<!-- column headers --
<tr bgcolor=cyan
<c:forEach var="columnName" items="${results.columnNames}"
<th<c:out value="${columnName}"/</th
</c:forEach
</tr
<!-- column data --
<c:forEach var="row" items="${results.rowsByIndex}"
<tr
<c:forEach var="column" items="${row}"
<td<c:out value="${column}"/</td
</c:forEach
</tr
</c:forEach
</table
The solution to this was answered in another StackOverFlow question.
