Hello All, first, a quick explaination of what I'm trying to do I've got an applet that presents a view into a database It accesses the database thru a servlet applet makes http call to servlet passing it the query it wants to run servlet runs query return results to applet so far I've succeeded in getting the servlet to extract the data from the ResultSet and package it as CSV strings or Vectors or some object and return it to the applet I'd like to skip this step and just return the ResultSet back to the applet and let the applet proccess it but the ResultSet isn't serializable so you can't do that I googled around and found references to a CacheResultSet that is serializable but the references were a few years old and I can't find any more info, perhaps that idea got dropped?? now I'm investigating RowSet the documentation sounds like it will do what I want says it extends ResultSet and can be "disconnected" from database ok, questions both ResultSet and RowSet are interfaces not classes when I create one in my code what is it, the driver I using's implementation of the interface?? this code works ResultSet foo = stmt.executeQuery(str); but I can't figure out how to get a RowSet this RowSet foo = (RowSet)stmt.executeQuery(str); gives me a class cast exception could it be that my driver doesn't implement RowSet? I'm using mysql-connector 3.0.9 think I'll go peruse the driver docs Thanks for any help Dave
Hi, to use the CachedRowSet: CachedRowSet records = new CachedRowSet(); ......../JDBC code here/..... ResultSet foo = stmt.executeQuery(str); records.populate(foo); return records It must help you!
