applet-servlet - creating objects from resultset

[chelakkad ben]

Hello
Could somebody pl help me solve this problem ?

i am trying to send a vector of student objects from servlet to applet.I have a student class(student) for creating the student objects,add to a vector and then send the vector back to the applet.Now the query in the servlet returns a resultset having a number of records and about 50 fields(columns).I
need to loop through the resultset to create the object for each record.
Is there any method by which u can pass the first RECORD
in the resultset as a parameter of type RESULTSET to the class student constructor, to create the student object?
.tried this code....
.....
cst.registerOutParameter(5,OracleTypes.CURSOR);
cst.execute();
rsDet = (ResultSet)cst.getObject(5);
Vector vS = new Vector();
while(rsDet.next()){
vS.addElement( new student(rsDet) );
}
.......
.......
but got the error..
exception....Closed Resultset: next
java.sql.SQLException: Closed Resultset: next
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java)
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.check_error(DBError.java)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleResultSetImpl.next(OracleResultSetImpl.java)
at server_frs.getSubDet(server_frs.java:88)........

The query returns three records....No error msg is thrown however when the first record is added to the vector. Only during the second loop, i think ,the error is thrown.
If a fn is used, then u need to send 50 variables for each record to create the object. I want to avoid that.
Any idea on how to send each record from the resultset to create the object?
Would appreciate any help

csb,
May I be so bold as to suggest that you try the javax.sql.rowset.CachedRowSet interface (instead of a "Vector"), since it is probably more appropriate to the situation you describe.

Of-course, you need to locate an implementation of the interface. Since it appears that you are using an Oracle database (although I could not ascertain the version), you may find an implementation through the following Web page:

Good Luck,
Avi.

Hello Avi
Thanks for the reply,Avi. CachedRowSet seems a good idea!! Afterall i can scoll throught the resultset in the client and display..It
is scrollable too.But will it work with IE 5 and above?
thanks

If it's in an applet and you've made the needed libraries (jars) available it won't matter what browser it's in.
