JSP Redirection to html

Question

<%@ page import="java.sql.*,java.io.*" %>
<%
String username = request.getParameter("username");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
Connection con = null;
Statement stmt = null;
PreparedStatement ps = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:malldata");
String sql = "SELECT CUST_ID,USER_ID, PASSWORD FROM CUSTMASTER WHERE USER_ID=? and PASSWORD=?";
ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
stmt = con.createStatement();
ps.setString(1,username);
ps.setString(2,password);
rs = ps.executeQuery();
if (rs.next()) {
out.println (rs.getObject(1).toString());
out.println (rs.getObject(2).toString());
out.println (rs.getObject(3).toString());
else %>
<jsp:forward page="login.html" />
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new ServletException ("servlet could not display records . " + e);
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new ServletException ("Jdbc driver not found " + e);
the forward page works always irresptive of whether the rows are returned or not. I know it returns rows as i checked it with knows values from the database. What is wrong here?

Answer 1

Try giving brackets for the else loop. like this.
if (rs.next()) {
out.println (rs.getObject(1).toString());
out.println (rs.getObject(2).toString());
out.println (rs.getObject(3).toString());
else { %>
<jsp:forward page="login.html" />
<%
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new ServletException ("servlet could not display records . " + e);
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new ServletException ("Jdbc driver not found " + e);
Hope this helps.
