Java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: error when executing query

Question

Hello,
I am trying to execute the following query from a jsp page.
String sqlUpdate ="UPDATE table_name SET name ='"+name+"', description='"+description+"', proj_link='" projlink"', active='" active"',sort_order='" order"',image='" image"',category='" category"', technology='" technology "' WHERE id="+id+" ";
stmt.executeQuery(sqlUpdate);
I get the follwoing error java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
When I omit "description" from the query it executes fine. But when I place it back into the query I get the above error. The table is in Oracle database and the datatype of description id varchar2(4000). I declared all the variables used in the query, I then assigned values caught from the form and then am trying to update the form varibles in the table.
Thanks,

String sqlUpdate ="UPDATE table_name SET name ='"+name+"', description='"+description+"', proj_link='" projlink"', active='" active"',sort_order='" order"',image='" image"',category='" category"', technology='" technology "' WHERE id="+id+" ";Not using PreparedStatement here is just a silly noob error.

PreparedStatement will eliminate that problem.
