How to populate query multiple data returned as arrraylist?

Question

I am new to JSP and likes to know as mentioned in the subject.
There are total 3 files.
createUser.jsp -> Here I have to pupulate TITLE form field drop-down.
TitleDAO.jsp -> Business logic has written to get DB records of titles.
TitleBean.jsp -> getter/setter bean object.
Now Here I am pasting all 3 files.
TitleBean.java
===========
package com.model;
public class TitleBean {
     int titleID = 0;
     String title = "";
     public void TitleBean(){
          //nothing for now
     public void setTitleID(int titleID){
          this.titleID = titleID;
     public int getTitleID(){
          return this.titleID;
     public void setTitle(String title){
          this.title = title;
     public String getTitle(){
          return this.title;
TitleDAO.java
============
package com.model;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
public class TitleDAO {
     public ArrayList<Object> getTitles() {
          Connection con = null;
          ResultSet rs = null;
          Statement stmt = null;
          //compose the SQL query
          String sql = "SELECT titleID,title FROM titleMaster ORDER BY titleID";
          // create object for returning data back to calling code
          ArrayList<Object> AL = new ArrayList<Object>();
          try {
               //load the driver     
               Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
               //set the connection string URL
               String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;"
                         + "databaseName=MyFirstServletDB;user=hitesh;password=hitesh;";
               //make connection with database
               con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
               //create the statement with connection object
               stmt = con.createStatement();
               //get the data into result set
               rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
               //System.out.println("Recordcount==="+rowCount);
               //looping through result set
               TitleBean tbObj = new TitleBean();;
               while(rs.next()){                    
                    tbObj.setTitleID(rs.getInt("titleID"));
                    tbObj.setTitle(rs.getString("title"));
                    AL.add(tbObj);
                    System.out.println("TitleID="+rs.getString("titleID")+", Title="+rs.getString("title"));                    
               //close all objects
               if(rs != null) rs.close();
               if(stmt != null) stmt.close();
               if(con != null) con.close();
               //set null to the objects
               rs = null;
               stmt = null;
               con = null;
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
               System.err.println("Error ClassNotFoundException: " + e.getMessage());
          catch (Exception e) {
               System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
          return AL;
createUser.jsp
===========
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
     pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@page import="com.model.TitleDAO"%>
<%@page import="java.util.ArrayList"%>
<%
     TitleDAO tdObj = new TitleDAO();
     ArrayList<Object> getTitlesRs = new ArrayList<Object>();
     getTitlesRs = tdObj.getTitles();
     //show values came from DAO object
     for (int i = 0; i < getTitlesRs.size(); i++) {
          out.println("<br>Object[" + i + "]=" + getTitlesRs.get(i));
%>
=========================
Please guide me also if there is any other GOOD way to get data of this kind?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try out following way, fetch bean data from Arraylist.
for (int i = 0; i < getTitlesRs.length; i++)
out.println("<br>Object[" + i + "]=" + getTitlesRs.getTitleID();
out.println("<br>Object[" + i + "]=" + getTitlesRs[i].getTitle();
