Operation not allowed after ResultSet closed

Question

Allright been trying to figure this out the last 2 days.

Statement statement = con.createStatement();
                        String query = "SELECT * FROM sell";
                        ResultSet rs = query(query);
                        while (rs.next()){//<--- I get there operation error here

This is the query method.

    public static ResultSet query(String s) throws SQLException {
        try {
            if (s.toLowerCase().startsWith("select")) {
                if(stm == null) {
                    createConnection();
                }
                ResultSet rs = stm.executeQuery(s);
                return rs;
            } else {
                if(stm == null) {
                    createConnection();
                }
                stm.executeUpdate(s);
            }
            return null;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            con = null;
            stm = null;
        }
        return null;
    }

How can I fix this error?

Answer 1

It's hard to be sure just from the code you've posted, but I suspect that the ResultSet is inadvertently getting closed (or stm is getting reused) inside the body of the while loop. This would trigger the exception at the start of the following iteration.

Additionally, you need to make sure there are no other threads in your application that could potentially be using the same DB connection or stm object.

Answer 2

IMHO, you should do everything you need with your ResultSet before you close your connection.
