Problem w/ portion of SQL statement in servlet

Question

Hi folks,
Don't know if this was one that should go under JDBC, but it's not so much of a connection problem as it is returning -- or not in this case -- a small result set I'm trying to make.
I've got an INSERT statement up above this code that handles all of the data input from a form, but what I'm trying to accomplish is verification of the nextval ID into the Oracle db. By the way, this is nothing I'll keep in the servlet long term, just to test and then see what way's best to pass that thru an email with a link to an approval page.
So at the end of the insert statement, I've got these lines:
Statement stmto = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rsltst = stmto.executeQuery("SELECT MAX(CHANGE_CTRL_ID) FROM CHANGE_CONTROL_USER");
String chgid= rsltst.getString(1);
System.out.println("Change ID is" +chgid);
            I get an invalid cursor error from this. Any idea why?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Statement stmto = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rsltst = stmto.executeQuery("SELECT MAX(CHANGE_CTRL_ID) FROM CHANGE_CONTROL_USER");
if (rsltst.next()) {
    String chgid= rsltst.getString(1);
    System.out.println("Change ID is" +chgid);
} else
   System.out.println("No value!");BTW: Check if oracle (I've never worked with these DBM) has any function to retrieve the generated ID, it will be a bit more acurated ;)
