Resultset

[Biswajit]

Hello

I have a servlet that selects n no. of records from the database .
Afterwards I send this data to the screen using five records at a time .
The page has option of going UP and DOWN . This means that whenever the user clicks UP
, the servlet should show him the next five record and if he clicks on DOWN then the last five records
will be shown .


I have written a servlet which selects n no of records and displays the first 5.
next when he clicks UP I have to execute another servlet whick should display the next five records .
now in the first case I have already executed a select statemnt and I have the resultset . So in
the second case ( I mean when I click UP) I don't want to execute another SQL statemnt , instead I
want to use the existing resultset .

How should I do .
Thanks in advance.
bye

Hi,
If you are using JDK1.2 and above, you can move
back and forth between the records by using the
methods previous() and next(). You also have
a method called moveRelative(). I am not sure
about its exact name. Ofcourse you need to
maintain a recordno variable when you click the
Up or Down buttons.
If you are using a version earlier to JDK1.2,
I think you need to cache the records say like
in a Vector because it doesn't have the
movePrevious() method.


Good luck.

Hi
I tried to use the session object to store the resultset object .
lets say I have one servlet test1 which creates the resultset .After the resultset is created
I code like this to store the resultset object into the session object : rs is the Resultset
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
session.putValue("recordset",rs);
Afterwards I execute another servlet say test2 which should read the result set object and do the need full. The code for receiving the
Resultset is as below .
Httpession session = request.getSession(true);
ResultSet rs = (ResultSet) session.getValue("recordset");
the I execute while (rs.next()) to retrieve the next record from the resultset .
But whenever I execute this I get an exception " NullPointerException"
.
I would like to know whether the way I am doing is conceptually correct ?
Can I store the Resultset Object in Session Object ?
If not , why ?
If I can't store the resultset object in Session Object then how should I proceed ?

Thanks in advance!
