Java 8 to Java 11 migration of RowSet (getting error)

Question

When migrating our project to Java 11, we are getting this error related to our use of RowSet technology (see Tutorial).

java: cannot access com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl

class file for com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl not found.

java: incompatible types: com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl cannot be converted to java.sql.ResultSet

I came to know in Java 11, com.sun packages are not accessible.

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

You should use RowSetProvider to get a factory.

RowSetFactory aFactory = RowSetProvider.newFactory();
CachedRowSet crs = aFactory.createCachedRowSet();

From the Javadoc:

A factory API that enables applications to obtain a RowSetFactory implementation that can be used to create different types of RowSet implementations.
