To which I respond: I'm sure you're right that in a large development environment, using DBTags wouldn't be optimal. It certainly doesn't follow the MVC architecture. However, for small, self-contained projects, it seems to me that it works just fine. My web applications tend to have 5 or maybe 6 pages that interact with the database. Hardly large enough for me to learn how to implement something like Struts. (Though, I do plan to learn about Struts, most likely from the Manning book on the topic, someday when I have some spare time on my hands!)
