how to not display a value from dropdown which is populated from database using java

[Swathi Choudary]

Can somebody help me how to not display a value from dropdown which is populated from database using java. Lets say the value is 'ABC'
Here is my code for populating from the database

public List findAllTypes(String state, String grp) {
        state = state.substring(0, 2).toUpperCase();
        state = StateConverter.convert(state);
        String sql = null;
        sql = "exec sp_all_types ?";
       
        logger.debug("findAllTypes SQL: " + sql + "[" + state + "]");
        ArrayList params = new ArrayList();
        int indx = 0;
        
        params.add(indx++, state);
        int types[] = new int[params.size()];
        for (int i=0; i<params.size(); i++) 
            types[i]=Types.VARCHAR;

        List list = getJdbcTemplate().query(sql, params.toArray(new Object[params.size()]), types, new TypeRowMapper());
        logger.debug("Category/Type length: " + list.size());
        return list;
    }

But you have only showed us the code for extracting values from the database. If you have a question about how to modify your code which displays values, shouldn't you be showing us that code?

Yes, This is for extracting values from data base but after extracting the values from data base, I wanted a particular value not be displayed. Let say the value is 'ABC'. So can you please help me with writing the code for it.

No, because (as I already said) I have no idea how you are "displaying" the values you got from that code. Swing? HTML? System.out.println?

It seems to me you don't have a problem with JDBC, you have a problem with this mysterious "displaying" which you refuse to tell us about.

This almost seems like trick question. If you don't want a value in the list, why are you putting it there in the first place?

We get the same list for multiple pages, for some of them they need full list for the dropdowns and for a few pages we want just one value from the dropdown no to be displayed.
