Re: NullPointer at ResultSet.java:113

Found the problem. I do:

public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception
{
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
Connection m_connection =
DriverManager.getConnection(DATABASEURL, USERNAME, PASSWORD);

ResultSet rs =null;
{
Statement st = m_connection.createStatement();
rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM stocksymbol");
st.close(); // <------ Problem!
}

System.err.println("\nHANS1" + rs);
rs.beforeFirst();
System.err.println("\nHANS1b");
while(rs.next())
{
System.err.println("\nHANS2\n");
}

As you can see, the statement is closed before the ResultSet is used.
It used to work with old Postgresql drivers, but not the most recent. I
will simply remove the st.close() statement in my close. I assume
that there is a finalize() function in the Statement such that the close
is done automatically when the instance is disposed.

Still, it would be nice if we got a nice exception instead of a
NullPointer exception. Can someone correct the code to generate such
exception?

Sorry for the delay for my response. Its a pet project I am working on,
on spare time.

Sincerely,
Hans Deragon
