Jsf datatable component + java.sql.SQLException

Question

I get the following error when implementing a JSF DataTable component using
JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.
javax.faces.FacesException: java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Socket closed
I am able to follow the article in this link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-jan/o16jsf.html
I can get the table generated, but it occurred to me that the example in this article does not include logic to close the statement, resultset, and connection. Sure enough, I jumped out to the database and there were numerous inactive connections hanging around from my application.
I added the following code before the return null statement from the article:
finally {
try {
rs.close();
stmt.close();
c.close();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("after close");
So I need to know the proper procedure to closing the resultset, statement, and connection using a jsf datatable component.

Answer 1

You need to make sure you're using the Oracle9i JDBC driver, or using the Oracle 8.1.7.2 JDBC driver as I mentioned above.
If you are using JDeveloper9i release 9.0.2 or 9.0.3, the driver you need is in <jdevhome>\jdbc\lib
Otherwise, you can also download the drivers from OTN.
