if you try 2 statements on one page, and the second one returns now
rows, the sql is inconveniently dumped onto the page.

so the page will show "select * from sometbl where 1=2"
which can get to be a security issue, as well as a cosmetic one.

<sql:statement id="stmt1" conn="conn">
  <sql:query>
select * from sometbl where 1=1
  </sql:query>
  <sql:resultSet id="rset1">
  </sql:resultSet>
</sql:statement>


<sql:statement id="stmt2" conn="conn">
  <sql:query>
select * from sometbl where 1=2
  </sql:query>
  <sql:resultSet id="rset2">
  </sql:resultSet>
</sql:statement>
