comparing timestamp object to null

[harpd dhillon]

Hello,
i'm developing a servlet that shows the fields of table in mysql , and if the field is null, it shows blank. I don't know how to compare timestamp object to null. For example:
java.sql.Timestamp endtime = rs.getTimestamp("endtime");
Now, i wanna check if the database value is null and if it is i wanna leave it blank.
thanks for your help

it the DB entry is null, rs.getXXX will return null. So a simple reference check will suffice. i.e.

Object myObject = rs.getXXX("myCol");
if( myObject == null )
{
    // db value was null, display blank
    myObject=" ";
}
