Problem with program logic

Question

hi, me havin a very funny prob w one of my mtd. here's a mtd from my bean class.
public boolean checkForEvent (String searchdate) {
boolean hasEvent = true;
try {
// This is the sql statement to modify.
sql = "select * from event where eventstart <= to_date('" +
searchdate + "','dd-mon-yy') and eventend >= to_date('" +
searchdate + "', 'dd-mon-yy') and eventoption = 'yes' order by eventname asc";
stmt = conn.createStatement ();
rs = stmt.executeQuery (sql);
if(rs.next())
hasEvent = true;
else
hasEvent = false;
rs.close ();
} // end try
catch (SQLException e) {}
catch (Exception exp) {}
return hasEvent;
} // end method
the thing i dun understand is that my program will return whatever boolean i initialise hasEvent to, regardless of what goes on inside the resultset. i'm quite sure that it's not problem of database or the if-else part. it just seems like the program dun enter the if-else condition statement. i have debugged many many times but still same old prob. any1 has any idea wat is wrong with my program logic?thks

Answer 1

Looks like your getting some exceptions.
Try to see that by putting some print statements in your catch blocks.
