java - SQLException: Exhausted Resultset

Question

I have a problem with my JDBC code. This is the relevant code:

/** method for checking password into the Oracle database */
public String CheckUserDB(String userToCheck) throws SQLException {
  String storedPassword;
  if (ds == null) throw new SQLException("No data source");      
  Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
  if (conn == null) throw new SQLException("No connection");      

  try {
    conn.setAutoCommit(false);
    boolean committed = false;
    try {
      PreparedStatement passwordQuery = conn.prepareStatement(
        "SELECT passwd from USERS WHERE userz = ?");
      passwordQuery.setString(1, userToCheck);

      ResultSet result = passwordQuery.executeQuery();

      result.next();

      storedPassword = result.getString("passwd");                          

      conn.commit();
      committed = true;
    } finally {
      if (!committed) conn.rollback();
    }
  }
  finally {               
    conn.close();
  }       
  return storedPassword;
}

This is the exception:

How is this caused and how can I solve it?

Answer 1

result.next();

storedPassword = result.getString("passwd"); 

You are not checking the return value of next. If you have no rows you get into trouble...

if(result.next()){
   storedPassword = result.getString("passwd");
}
