I'm about to give up on this

Question

I work with macromedia DreamWaever, JRun4 with IIS and Oracle. I can connect to Oracle using dreamweaver and I can even see my records (through the app) but when I try to display the records in my webpage I get this errors (and btw my query is very basic, selct *):

here's my code
display page
<%@ page language="java" import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ include file="Connections/Webuser.jsp" %>
<%
Driver DriverrstLogin = (Driver)Class.forName(MM_Webuser_DRIVER).newInstance();

PreparedStatement StatementrstLogin = ConnrstLogin.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM WEBUSER.TBL_LOGIN");
ResultSet rstLogin = StatementrstLogin.executeQuery();
boolean rstLogin_isEmpty = !rstLogin.next();
boolean rstLogin_hasData = !rstLogin_isEmpty;
Object rstLogin_data;
int rstLogin_numRows = 0;
%>
<%
int Repeat1__numRows = -1;
int Repeat1__index = 0;
rstLogin_numRows += Repeat1__numRows;
%>
<table width="75%" border="1">

Answer 1

remember. code inside a regular scriptlet block <%..%> is executed inside the service method of the created servlet. So when you define your connection data variables at the end of the page they are not defined before you are using them to make your connection. The two solutions would be 1) to move that scriplet block to the beginning of the page or 2) to change the <% %> to a <%! %> so that those variables will actually be defined at the member level of the created servlet class instead of at the method local level as they are now. At least that's what it seems like to me. I could be wrong.
