hi harshal
from your query and code displayed i understand that you are trying to display the details of a particular question from the question table.

you have done one part that is displaying the details from a table which is your first doubt

solution to your second doubt is quite simple
create another Statement st1 and another ResultSet rs1
now in the same jsp after you have closed the existing st and rs
<code>
st1.executeQuery("select count(*) from question");
int count=0;
while(rs1.next())
{
count=rs1.getInt(1);
}
out.println(count);
</code>

i am sure this will give you the count of the questions in the same jsp page.

Why don't you just count the rows as you process them? Then you would not need to do that second query.

Hi saicharan,
Thank you very much for your post.
you suggested code is worked fine with given output as no of question in
that particular question bank.

Is it the actual code that you use.. If so then it's simple... Your code is like this

Just open and close the scriplet tags in proper place like the below one...

Just look at the code that is in BOLD... It use proper scriplets... Hope you will be clear in future..
