Database Access from JSP - Is it correct?

Question

From a JSP Page, we need to retreive data from the database. We have our own application specific API commands to retreive data from database. We have doubts in using this API commands.
Approach 1:
From the jsp, send the query details to a Java file (BO). From the java file (BO), call the database and retreive the data
Approach 2:
Use the API command directly from the jsp page to retreive details from the database.
In both approaches, the same API command is going to be used. We just want to know is there any advantage in calling the database through the java file (BO) instead of directly from the jsp?

Answer 1

Thanks Ram. But we are not going to have any complex
codes written for data retreival. We just epxect a
single line of code which will call database and that
API command will return us a storage variable which
we will use for displaying purpose.
ok take a look at this
//code to display lot of other stuff
<%
    try {
       //code to access db and get data;
    catch(SomeException e){
        //oh-oh you are already on the display logic and have output a lot of stuff
        //how do you handle this
%>versus this
//code in some handler or bean
   try{
           //code to get data
          //set an attribute to enable a redirect to jsp page
    catch(Exception e){
          //handle exception, log ?
          //set an attribute to enable a redirect to error page
Anyways, i wanted to know will the performance of the
page improve if we call the database from a separate
java rather than directly from jsp?As evnafets said, the answer is no. It may even be faster :)
cheers,
