The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Passing Connection objects between servlets

Asked by whitej8 in Java Programming Language, Java Servlets

I have a servlet that needs to access the functionality of another servlet.  The two servlets, user and annotation, are very similiar each opens a connection to the database during init().

I need to get user information out of the database while processing the annotation.  I open the connection in the annotation and then pass it to method contained within the user.cUser class.  When I then try to query the database from the user.cUser object I get a java.sql.SQLException: Before start of result set

What's the problem?

From the doGet method of annotation.java
            //TO DO test for user_id and oai_id

            //get user name
            user.SQLParam user_param = new user.MySQLParam();
            cUser mUser = new cUser(conn, user_param, Long.parseLong(request.getParameter("user_id")));

            session.setAttribute("user_name",   mUser.user_name);
            session.setAttribute("user_id", mUser.getUserIDString());

The constructor
    public cUser(Connection con, SQLParam param, long UserID){
        Statement stmt = null;
        try {
            System.out.println("cUser.getUser " + param.getSelectByIDStatement(UserID));

            stmt = con.createStatement();
            ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery(param.getSelectByIDStatement(UserID));

            user_id          = UserID;
            user_name        = rs.getString("user_name");
            alias            = rs.getString("alias");
            user_bio         = rs.getString("user_bio");
            user_bio_short   = rs.getString("user_bio_short");

        } catch (SQLException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
            System.out.println("throwing SQLException from cUser.cUser(Connection con, SQLParam param, int UserID)");
        }
    }
