Problem with jdbc:odbc returning incorrect number of rows.

Question

Hello,
Am sure i have done something stupid, but i have an issue with jdbc:odbc ....
It is a simple sceanrio that i have coded umpteen times before ...
I have the following ....
1. Connection to DB2 on an IBM i5 (I apologise for not using native drivers from jt400.jar, but i had an ODBC code example and was in a rush - no excuse i know)
2. Statement object created from connection above
3. A string with my SQL in it
4. A result set for the results.
These are created as follows:
Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(ODBCSource, userID, password);
if (con == null) {
// error handling not relevant here
} else {
Statement s = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
String SQL = "select * from table";
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(SQL);
i then try to loop ....
while (rs.next() )
// stuff
however, i only ever get one result .... if i stick in the check for isLast, the first loop hits this check, i get my little status message, and the loop ends.
while (rs.next() )
if (rs.isLast() )
System.out.println("I am on last record");
BUT if i run the SQL
"select count(*) from table" ... i get a count of 148 !!
I tried setting the FetchSize through setFetchSize(), but made no difference.
This is running on a JBoss server 4.2.1GA, JDK is "jdk1.6.0_02" .... i have a suspicion that this may be a JBoss specfic issue, as this exact code runs just fine on the Domino platform that it was originally on, if this is the case, i apologise for wasting everyones time .... but would still appreciate any pointers you can give me.
Cheers

Hello,
Thanks for the reply, I am not sure i follow what you are saying.
I only mentioned JBoss as it is the application server that we have deployed to and because the orignal code ran fine on a Domino server, I will take your advice and try to run it through in debug rather than running actually on the application server.
Am i incorrect in my assumption that if "select count(*) from table" gives a count of 148, i should expect 148 records in a result set created from "select * from table" ? This is all rather new to me so i apologise if this is incorrect, I'd love to know why this is incorrect so i dont make similar mistakes in future.
Also, If i run this same code on the previous platform, i get 148 iterations of the code contained within
while (rs.next() ) { ... }
When the war file is deployed to JBoss, the same SQL statement gives a result set that only iterates once for
while (rs.next() ) { ... }
The previous platform as I say was domino, but it was running as a lotus notes java agent (despite not using any notes documents etc) as it happened to be where the web pages that call this process were located. It is possible that some of the main code has changed as I had cut and paste the code into a servlet using MyEclipse, but i have double checked the bit that does this SQL request and it is identical
To complete the picture, the new servelt is then called from the action tag on the submit form on a JSP, when it ends the servlet redirects via the requestdispacher to success or failure jsp pages depending on the outcome of the processing.
Thank you again for your help.
