How to check whether the Resultset is empty or not ??

Question

I wanna check whether my Result set is empty or not ( I don't want the no of rows it contains..) i'm using this function...
boolean result=myResultSet.isAfterLast() | myResultSet.isBeforeFirst() ;
if (result == true)
{//Result Set is populated
else
{//ResultSet Blank
Is it ok to do like this ?? Or is there any other functanality to do this, since in big appl..i'm using it more than 10-15 times & it's working fine evrywhere except for one jsp where it is returing TRUE everytime ...
Help Appreciated !!

Answer 1

try,
rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
boolean b = false;
if( b = rs.next() ) {
while( b ) {
//... rs.getXXX( YYY );
b = rs.next();
else {
//...empty rs processing
or,
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
if(rs.next()) {
do {
System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
} while(rs.next());
} else {
System.out.println('empty result set');
but I usually avoid using do...while although this may be an exception.
